TITLE: Another 'earthquake' off Florida attributed to Navy testing
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Another apparent earthquake off Florida's Atlantic coast has been attributed to the U.S. Navy testing the seaworthiness of a new vessel.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports the Navy conducted a shock trial Sept. 4 on the USS Milwaukee off the Volusia and Flagler county coastlines.
Paul Caruso at the National Earthquake Information Center says sound waves from an explosion that's part of the test registered as a 3.8 magnitude earthquake on U.S. Geological Survey seismographs as far away as Kansas.
A Navy spokeswoman says three tests are scheduled for the USS Milwaukee, each involving a 10,000-pound explosive charge.
Shock trials on another Navy vessel this summer also registered as earthquakes. Some dolphins and small whales stranded along Florida beaches in 2008 after similar tests, but officials couldn't determine what killed the animals.

I think you might want to tag humor on this post SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL as well as training. Those who live in earthquake zones can be "shocked" to read about "news: like this. :-)
If we had the capability with our naval vessels to really shift the tectonic plates and cause earthquakes that would be something to really worry about.

I've seen Pictures and Videos of these Shock Test that are required on all newly commissioned ships. Pretty Damn Impressive.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL That is very, very scary to me. I live in earthquake territory-San Francisco-where my building (which is not retrofitted for earthquakes)-could topple Easily; in the event of an earthquake.
