    • Military Ship Shock Boxes

    Metadata Updated: March 26, 2026

    A location, which is not considered a Military Range, where ship shock trials (explosives are detonated underwater against surface ships) can be conducted by Naval Sea System Command on new classes of Navy ships. Ship shock trials consist of a series of underwater detonations that propagate a shock wave through a ships hull under deliberate and controlled conditions simulating near misses from underwater explosions. A representative ship from a new ship class is exposed to detonations to assess the ability of the ship and crew to withstand near-miss situations. Charges can be used in any combination during the execution of a shock trial.

    The MarineCadastre.gov team worked with the Navy to provide this data, which is a subset of the Navy's Common Operating Picture for ocean planning purposes.
