US Navy conducted a mine test of the USS "Jackson" warship

In the United States, the USS "Jackson" coastal stability ship was tested, which was handed over to the customer in August 2015. According to the portal DefenseNews a few tens of meters from the ship, an explosive device with a capacity of about 4-4,5 t (10 thousand pounds) was activated. Reportedly, the ship received minimal damage after the explosion.

During the tests on the coastal zone warship, 260 of various sensors were fixed, which were supposed to monitor the Jackson reaction to charge detonation. The sensors measured the temperature, the force of the shock wave, the roll of the ship, the degree of deformation of certain sections of the skin and other parameters.

From the statement of the official representative of the US Navy:

The ship passed these tests exceptionally well. He survived the explosion, receiving minimal damage. At the same time, he returned to the port on his own.

After testing, the American ship actually went to Mayport (Florida), where experts will analyze data from all sensors, conduct a visual inspection of USS Jackson, on the basis of which they will draw conclusions and present a report to the US Navy Command.

The test takers stated that the result was better than expected. At the same time in the Florida seismic service they reported that an earthquake of magnitude higher than 3 points was recorded in the test area. It is checked whether the earthquake was caused by the explosion of an explosive device during tests of the USS "Jackson" or not. Experts are inclined to the version that it was the testing of the US Navy that led to the emergence of seismic shocks.

The US Navy announced that similar tests of another new coastal ship, the USS Milwaukee (Milwaukee), will be conducted next week.

On the one hand, yes, but what valuable information is that you need a larger charge or closer.

- Exactly! I don’t remember something that rockets or torpedoes exploded far away. Usually the explosion of their warhead occurs already inside the ship's hull. So such distant explosions are the usual show off for taxpayers.

What does the show have to do with it? eggheads are simply trying to figure out how much pelvis they have left after our retaliatory strike. otherwise there is simply nothing to explain such a mass of explosives. here is another interesting, the alleged damage suits them or not?

[Buffet]

And I would like to know about the protection of our ships. And the ability to penetrate our torpedoes, missiles, mines, hit the ships of a potential enemy. And then there was already an article exposing our missiles.

Yes, apparently 4,0 tons of explosives per 1,0 kb from the side will not be enough!
But the ama are slyly silent about "minimal damage". Surely the bottom shut-off equipment received "hydrocontusion", and the AP AP had to conduct BZZh at the TG combat posts.
I hope our KR and MO will be more accurate: let them calculate the consequences of a 10-15m explosion from the side !!!

Well, Duc, perhaps that's why 4,5t per dist. in 1,0 kbt. Further (or closer) they themselves will calculate. Direct or inverse proportion, depending on the required values. And the fact that mattresses declare results that exceed expectations, then they (mattresses) have no equal. Just PR aces, PR aces, in a word. Ours with "no analogs in the world" still learn. Nobody canceled the advertisement.

[sandrmur76]

Explosion at what depth? Generally (information) is scarce and what about? The basin didn’t drown. Then, with all the data, the same battleship of the Second World War or the battleship of the 1st world war didn’t even notice what was overboard. Or they want to say that this basin so strong that don’t attack? Maybe there are frames through 150mm. are the thickness of the side like the armored belt of a battleship? EXPLOD under it and surprise us!

[VNP1958PVN]

Yes Yes! Why is it a pity that he returned ...

At the same time, he returned to the port on his own.

[vkl.47]

Well, so the mine is underwater and not above-water. here if they blew it up then Jackson would be pushed on his side. and in general this is a mine, damn it. so I had to push them. then I would see how 4.5 tons of explosives will bite him off

[xant]

if 4.5 tons of explosives collide with the USS Jackson, then the entire USS Jackson will become a slice

[siberalt]

Normal info. The boom to know.
There will be something else, probably tomorrow. Only, as soon as the Russians clinging to the TV boxes and monitors were trying to understand why Stal Piekha left his wife, when suddenly - another "amazing" news. In Kuev, Pavel Sheremet exploded in the car of his roommate. Poroshenko is indignant and demands to punish the guilty. One side was infa about cleaning young colonels-bribe takers in the IC of the Russian Federation. Well, we'll talk tomorrow.
Health to all!

[nemec55]

Is it an explosion? It's a bunch of dolphin damn

[sub307]

Let them send them directly to us for "anti-torpedo tests" ... for an "exchange of experience" so to speak. We will shoot a little "with different things" and send the report ...

[hirurg]

Somehow they wake up a supervolcano.

[DenZ]

They would have blown the mine even further from the ship. The result would have been even better. Weak Americans under the keel to tear this and see what happens?

[Flinky]

Duck it is a pity the new Uss will be)))

It was hardly planned to crush the body.
Rather, to check the vibration resistance of the equipment. And PR, the shots are so beautiful.

Vibration resistance is best checked in a storm. And about PR ... When poachers suppress fish, do they PR too, or do they check their boats for vibration resistance? The fact is that the USS Jackson case is built according to an unconventional scheme and its strength characteristics are not completely clear.

The Americans are building so many ships that they can’t get out of sorrow, but we have completed Ivan Gren.

[masiya]

And why were they trifling, it was necessary to test the little vigorous charger especially in Florida ... and closer to the ship, and the fact that it is so far, but they would try to get to the port with their own power ...

[afrikanez]

Judging by the photo, the ship was at least 100 meters away. I wonder why such tests at all? Who will pour on the ship with such errors when shooting (I’m not talking about missiles and torpedoes).

Or maybe ... admiral what - their thread got out to poacher? And about the test for excuses blurted out.

[Corsair0304]

But do mines really explode so far from the ship? Maybe the question sounded stupid and unprofessional, but I'm really not up to date.
In my opinion, if such a mine explodes in the midsection - the consequences will be much sadder. And are there mines in service that are activated when the ship passes and come closer to it? And yet - are mine fields still being used?
Pros - enlighten on this subject!

[Mikhail Krapivin]

Quote: Corsair0304

And are there mines in service that are activated when the ship passes and come closer to it?

At one time I read that even the Germans in the Second World War had magnetic mines that chased after our ships, magnetizing to them. Now all this should be much cooler, technology has gone far ahead.

[Boa kaa]

Quote: Mikhail Krapivin

Michael! You are shamelessly deceived!
Magnetic mines are sabotage weapons of combat swimmers. And what you are writing about - mines with a "magnetic" fuse. These are the ones that are triggered when the MF threshold is exceeded in the fuse duty channel. The most destructive is the explosion at a distance of 8-10 m from the NK side.

[Paranoid50]

Magnetic mines - diversion weapons of combat swimmers

As a joke, I recalled a domestic children's cartoon of the 70s (the name flew out of my head). The pioneers, having gone down in the bathyscaphe, found a fascist destroyer at the bottom, and from there an angry, toothy ... magnetic torpedo rushed at them. Wow, and she drove them! But in the end I ended up at a scrap metal collection point. For an 8-10 year old boy, it was still action! Damn, I can't remember, I have to look. By the way, the channel "Zvezda" may well show such cartoons, for today's children it will not be superfluous.

These are those that operate when the threshold of the MP is exceeded in the standby channel of the fuse. The most destructive is the explosion at a distance of 8-10m from the side of the NK.

But since then, all warships have been equipped with a demagnetization system. As for the destructive explosions, the news has now surfaced infa that the Americans could not drown their old decommissioned frigate for half a day, starting with a single "Harpoon" and ending with bombing with a B-52 and torpedo attacks. Maybe in this case, something went wrong with them, and now they are just trying to excuse themselves with a smart look?

[Leto]

Quote: Corsair0304

But do mines really explode so far from the ship?

Bottom mines fire within a certain radius of the ship passing above it, the ship does not have to be directly above the mine.

[Bashibuzuk]

Well, actually ... have long been there.
Reactive pop-up mines. They stand, stand at a depth, waiting for a vessel to match the passage number. How it falls into the radius of action and corresponds to the multiplicity - ascent (reactive) and broads.
Mino torpedoes. Such units are at a depth, for installation as mines, in action - torpedoes. Again, the target falls into the view of the action - well, the result ... the torpedo went to the target (exactly like in the cartoon).
...
Mines with horns that are so fond of showing in films are such a rarity.
Only in World War I and were applied.
Now the mines ... are smart. Intelligent.
Toka ... that they do not return home. Having completed the task.
...
This weapon is too expensive to simply scatter across the oceans.
The current mine itself, in practice, will be delivered to where it would be more convenient for her to drown whom it will be.
Yes and figs stoke ships-ships.
To drown - so immediately the entire coast. East. States. By most Seattle.
Sailors will appreciate.

[chunga-changa]

Interestingly, we have ships in a similar way?
Under the keel, they already blew up when they tested a torpedo, of course the ship broke in half and sank, no one would do such stupidity with the acting ship.
It seems to be tested for the effect of a blast wave over the hull. It is quite reasonable, like on this boat a completely sealed hull for counteracting WMDs, if it loses its tightness from the effects of a shock wave, does it make sense to fence a garden? I would check.

[iliya87]

I’m not a sailor and I honestly don’t understand words at all. But something tells me that they vryatly detonators are used so that they would explode at a distance of several tens of meters from the target. In my opinion, a maximum of 10 meters = 1 dozen, not a few. I don’t know what the ship was checked in this case, but certainly not on

mine stability

[Bashibuzuk]

The size of the charge, the number of sensors and an indication of a certain range only means that full-scale modeling of anti-mine stability was carried out.
There is a programina, which according to these data will show areas - weakened, overpowered.
Will give material for further work.
FOR FURTHER DRESSED BABL.
...
Explosion resistance is the tenth thing.
Moreover, they do not shoot single torpedoes. And, the radius of the torpedo detonation, guarantees the destruction of such a vessel or makes a hole so that USSat and not live.
And MINA, modern, will not leave any chance to such a pelvis.
...
Total, the Amy conducted a very successful operation on the washing of the BABL.
Very successful.
So they said directly. In the report.

[jovanni]

"... The test takers stated that the result was better than expected."

Really hoped to drown ?!

[ksv36]

Judging by the photo, the explosion was carried out in 150-200 meters. If this is a photo. And that is damage. What will happen from the torpedo?

[Paranoid50]

Here, in addition to the technical side, the seismic moment is interesting. 4,5 tons of explosives = 3 points (remember these numbers, just in case). Nobody even stutters about ecology. Although, the sharks must have gone upside down. In the near future, they plan to repeat the same thing in the same place ... And I wonder, SO they only test the "mosquito" fleet? I am all interested in seismology.

[Machete]

I probably don’t understand something, but if you conduct mine tests, then why blow up 100 meters if the mine under the bottom fires? For mine tests, you could just blow up an empty case and see the result. And so some bad show turns out. To extort money.

[Abbra]

One thought warms me. The fact that the sensors did not register our submarine, which quietly spied on the tests ...

[Bashibuzuk]

I’ll even say more, colleague.
This is exactly the methane tank exploded. From our boat.
As waste from peas.
...
And 4,5 tons fired ours.
Stigma American, come in handy.

[Uzer 13.]

[quote] [/ an earthquake of magnitude above 3 was recorded in the test area]

It seems that Khrushchev correctly thought about the asymmetric response to the American militarists.

[bk316]

3 points is not bad, but it would be better if they would conduct tests at San Francisco.
It would be cool if half of California along San Andreas went into the ocean, this is really "the result exceeded expectations"

[APASUS]

To destroy a ship, such a charge will be more than enough, and this has already been proved.

It is unclear why a blast was needed at such a distance?

here mattresses frigate their mattresses for 12 hours https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzn5L-82GdE so once in a while as they say

[azbukin77]

Full nonsense of mattress covers !!! To center the gross line to the engine is a huge effort. The engine must be centered, because it is set on the foundation (centered on 0.1-0.3 mm) Outcome: it will only go to the bottom with its own moves!

[Wasiliy1985]

There is an idea (a non-professional in this matter) that compensating devices like couplings have been invented for sure, taking into account the discrepancy in the alignment of the axes of the engine output shaft and the propeller shaft. Yes, and the engine on ships (ships), in any way, "exposed" is not the same as on land. Probably on compensating pillows, which also dampen the acoustic field .. With the corresponding requirements for rolling and impact.

[Bashibuzuk]

No, Basil, it is not true.
You forgot about pitching, there are storms at sea, you know.
And, much worse than storms, swell.
Sometimes even a "dead swell". Symbolic, right.
So, there are no shock absorbers and pillows there. It is impossible to consider, calculate, so many unforeseen factors.
Everything is done ironically. A bunch of balancers. A bunch of dampers.
Like lead weights on rims.
And the highest quality workmanship of spinning parts.
Why did the Toshiba company suffer in due time, selling to the Union precision machine tools for shaft turning for submarines.

The acoustic field is formed just from beats. And if there is no beating?
And no "grandfather" will bring the mechanism to such a point that its bearing "buzzed".

[BastaKarapuzik And]

Hmm, just in the news, about how the Americans for half a day "could not drown" a decommissioned 83rd year ship. They fired rockets, planes were involved, even torpedoed him, and he, like, doesn't sink, that's all. I immediately thought that there should already be an article on VO, but no. Probably they just write it. And I even guess who ...

Who does not want to spoil the impression before the news appears on VO, that, of course, let him not go and do not read further.

Here is the news, July 20, 2016 published:

Py Sy. Why in quotes - "could not drown", it is doubtful that drowning the target should have been the goal of these shooting. On the contrary, it is usually useful to study the damage. Unless, of course, there were plans to create an artificial reef.
Strictly IMHO.
