This print captures the powerful moment when an unarmed Trident II D5 missile is launched from the USS Nevada, a formidable Ohio-class fleet ballistic-missile submarine. Taken off the coast of Southern California in the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean on March 1,2011, this test launch was a crucial part of the U. S. Navy Strategic Systems Programs demonstration and shakedown operation certification process. The image showcases the sheer force and precision involved in such operations as thick clouds of smoke billow out from beneath the water's surface.
