Unfortunately missed this event a long time ago, and due to lack of new content nowadays I hope you'll find this video interesting as I did.

They be like damn it sucks to have such noisy neighbors. And wtf the humans be doing up there anyways!?!?

[@niouts]

Do we, humans need this kind of experiment? What is it made for?

[@TheWorldsOkayestUSMarine]

Yes. Torpedoes, depth charges and high-yield missiles don't need to hit the carrier to damage it. Blast waves propagate much farther and with more energy in water.
This tests the hull integrity.
