Oh, I just figured it out. The first view of the explosion was from a camera actually located on the Ford. The others were from distant observation posts.

Speed of sound in water is about 1500 m/s, so the charge was something like 250 m away from the hull.

Is this something that needs to be on the internet?
I remember when the admonition, “loose lips sink ships” meant something. Let’s keep our defense capabilities to ourselves, don’t ya think?
Not you, FRiend, Everybody!

I wonder if it would survive a nuclear torpedo.

Just sayin.

If the ship sinks does that make the test a success or a failure?

I’m surprised environmentalists aren’t out protesting this, because, ya know, marine life, and stuff.

“how well a class of ships can take a hit”

Uh, no. How well they cope with the shock of a nearby explosion. NOT the same as taking a hit.
