Can a U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier Tip Over During a Rough Storm?
Summary and Key Points: Modern aircraft carriers, like the USS Gerald R. Ford, are marvels of human engineering, designed for stability and efficiency despite their massive size.
Why Aircraft Carriers Don't Tip Over in a Rough Storm: These ships remain stable due to their center of buoyancy being higher than their center of gravity, allowing them to right themselves as they tip. The carrier’s hull design, which narrows at the waterline to reduce drag but is wide and flat below, enhances stability.
