Out in open water, white foam suddenly erupts from hidden nozzles across a carrier's flight deck, spreading in thick rivers over gray steel. Sailors guide the flow as it builds, layer upon layer, until the entire 4.5-acre deck disappears beneath a dense white blanket.

Within minutes, the carrier looks transformed. Its runway is now buried under a pale shield from bow to stern.

This is a full-system test of the carrier’s emergency deck-protection network. Thousands of gallons of specialized foam can smother a crash fire before it races through parked aircraft, or seal the deck against contamination that lands with the next recovery.

It looks like science fiction made real. And it proves that modern carriers can literally grow their own defensive skin when danger arrives.
