Can the sea giant aircraft carrier withstand a tsunami?

Tsunamis are actually caused by geological activities on the seabed, such as the seabed surge caused by submarine volcanic eruptions, and this energy forms large swells, which are gradually transmitted to the coastline, and when they are about to reach the coastline, huge waves are formed, which will cause great damage to the coastal areas.

It is important to note here that tsunamis do not have a significant impact on ships on the sea at a distance from the coastline. This is fundamentally different from a typhoon, which is mainly caused by a strong convection of the air caused by a drastic change in air pressure, which causes great damage to targets above the sea surface and will not subside until it encounters resistance after landfall.

Then let's talk about ships, and when designing ships, we will consider the situation of wind and sinking. Generally, large destroyers and aircraft carriers of this class can survive a typhoon of 12-14 levels.

But there is no country that will have its ships on the face of a typhoon or wait for a tsunami to hit its coast. Because these two natural phenomena can be used, the path of a typhoon from formation to subsidence can be **, and a tsunami can also be used, leaving enough time for the ship to prepare.

The national capital actively avoids aircraft carriers from facing tsunami, typhoons and other severe weather areas, so how to do it?

1.First of all, the most basic thing is that the aircraft carrier squadron should avoid sailing in areas where tsunamis are frequent, and choose a calmer area.

2.Secondly, as an important weapon of the country, the aircraft carrier has poured too much manpower and financial resources into it, and it can timely predict the meteorological conditions at sea, and the aircraft carrier formation can plan the sailing route in advance according to this information.

In the face of these natural disasters, our priority is prevention, not resistance, and resistance is the last resort. This is consistent with what we often talk about typhoon prevention, flood prevention, and earthquake prevention. There are a lot of things we can do to neutralize the impact, and in the case of a tsunami, it's as simple as moving boats away from the coastline, or moving the area a little bit.

In short, the aircraft carrier cannot resist the tsunami, but it will not directly face the tsunami and other meteorological conditions, unless in a state of war, all kinds of information can not be collected to the aircraft carrier in time, and the situation in the problem may occur.
