Watch the US Navy test out one of its newest ships by almost blowing it up

It's the Navy way!

Great video and story ! I still don't like the name of those ships especially if you add the letter Charlie in front of it. These new stealth ships with their block angles looks like something from the minecraft game my daughter plays on her playstation

Yes, and it's important to assess new and new to this class systems ability to sustain a hit and restore combat systems, damage control capabilities, bring up redundant systems, etc. Real world example, years ago 1991ish when I was a Chief Gunners Mate, we were on BALTOPS, an exercise with NATO Navies in the Baltic. The Dutch Navy did a demo of a sea mine and detonated it, we were several miles away. After the blast, we could not light off our main battery 5 inch/54 gun. In training we were told that we had to torque down the circuit card holders so they wouldn't unseat during battle damage. We opened up the back of the control panels and sure enough, multiple circuit cards had unseated. We reseated and properly torqued EVERY one, Guess those guys knew what they were talking about.
