Looks pretty cool, I wonder if the shock wave traveled faster in the water or in the air? A slomo capture would be great.
Also the camera shake is probably due to the flimsy mounting - could a 100,000 ton warship really vibrate and shake like that from a blast so small in the grand scheme of things? I suspect not.
Edit - 100k tons fully loaded. So likely a smaller fraction of this given its being run through tests and trials currently and hence is missing what would be a normal operational loadout.
Yep, hence my asking the question. I figure a slower capture would show a delta between the progress of shade / coloration of the shockwave in the water, and when the camera rattles from the air wavefront, which would also provide an answer.

Sonar thumbrule; 1000 fps in air, 5000 fps in water, 150000 fps in steel.
Your ‘wonder’ suggests that you don’t know what you are on about.
