Ex Navy Sailor here from yesteryear, All navy ships use Ballast tanks to maintain the correct center of gravity and bouyancy no matter what is happening with shifting loads, they fill and empty tanks all day long during evolutions, most of this ballasting is automatically controlled.
lmao….and the titanic was unsinkable.
I know for a fact Supper Carriers can handle a typhon. USS Abraham Lincoln West Pac 93 we punched our way through one on the way to the Persian Gulf.
Yo I didn’t know carries had fin stabilization, that’s sick!
Been on a carrier taking waves over the bow off the north coast of Norway
I Was on the USS America CVA-66 in 1972 when we hit a Typhoon in the Gulf of Tonka, we had waves breaking over the bow. When you hit one of those waves the ship just shudders. Kind of scary. You could hear the screws coming out of the water.
Nothing is impossible!
Never say never because Mother Nature can do whatever she decides to do.
It doesn't matter how high the wave is as long as the water remains outside of the ship!
Can it overcome Bermuda Triangle Menace
That ski ramp carrier is not a US carrier. Facts matter.
Not even a nuke could sink a US carrier
The narrator can't pronounce "Bow" … thinks it is a gift wrapping.
