Gerald Ford’s strength tests took place in the Atlantic Ocean, 161 kilometers off the coast of Florida.
US military personnel staged an explosion off the coast of Florida to test the strength of the design of the aircraft carrier Gerald Ford (CVN 78), the US Department of Defense press service reported.
The tests took place in the Atlantic Ocean, 161 kilometers from the coast. The bomb, weighing more than 18 tons, caused an explosion comparable in power to an earthquake of magnitude 3.9, the US Geological Survey said.
The US Navy reported that the aircraft carrier has successfully passed the test, showing resistance to the release of such bombs and its effectiveness in combat.

The military also assured that the tests met the requirements for the impact on the environment and were carried out taking into account the migration routes of marine life in the area of the ocean.
Earlier in the Philippine Sea, the expedition showed the US Navy destroyer Johnston, sunken in deepest place in 1944.
