Is it possible that the U.S. 100,000-ton aircraft carrier will be capsized by waves?

The largest aircraft carrier in the world is the American Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier has a displacement of more than 80,000 tons, and later models have a full-load displacement of about 100,000 tons. The length of these aircraft carriers exceeds 330 meters and the width of the hull exceeds 40 meters.

The width of the flight deck reaches more than 75 meters. When such a sea monster encounters a Category 12 typhoon, is it possible for it to be overturned by the waves? Can't say absolutely not. It's difficult, I can only say that the possibility is extremely low.

If you have seen the moment when an ordinary cruise ship is launched, you will know that even ordinary civilian ships are difficult to capsize. The boat did not advance cautiously when it was launched into the water, but fell sideways into the water at an angle close to 90 degrees. Then it floats on its own buoyancy. The scene is very exciting. Therefore, ordinary large ships can withstand ordinary wind and waves at sea.

The sinking of a large ship due to wind and waves at sea is as big news as the "Sewol" in South Korea. Collect all the most advanced high-tech on a super steel floating island like an aircraft carrier and overturn it, which is not an ordinary difficulty.

From a design perspective, the Nimitz class can theoretically withstand Category 12 typhoons. Aircraft carriers are very capable of withstanding storms, but they are unable to withstand hurricanes and tsunamis. But in fact, no commander wants to be exposed to such unfortunate weather.

The formation and movement of typhoons can be observed in advance. Under the guidance of satellites, the aircraft carrier avoided the typhoon. It will not cross the typhoon zone except under very special circumstances. On the one hand, it is not conducive to the life cycle of the entire ship's equipment, and on the other hand, the frigates in the fleet may not be able to resist.
