Just a guess: Testing anti-submarine defense?

What strikes me as odd is that the ship is so close to the plume. The ship is probably 400-600 feet long (judging by the tractor trailers at the stern), and is within one ship length of the the "disturbance".
There's no-one visible on the deck of the ship, so I'd bet it's a test of some sort, with an old ship nearby to see the effects.

Almost looks like another angle of an FAE test (fuel air explosive, or thermobaric weapon) picture posted some time ago.

Was it?Originally posted by RC AgentThis was from the movie The Abyss, right before the alien whatever comes out of the water.
I thought there was a flotilla of ships in that scene.
(and I can never watch that part of the movie without laughing. I just can't shake the idea of Chris Elliot being "the guy under the seats" on Late Night with David Letterman)

One thing I noticed is the lack of any real markings on the ship. I see those two flags, but can't make them out. There's nothing on there that says "national flag."Originally posted by Dr MordridGigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.

When magnified considerably they look like maritime signal flags. What piques my interest are the white structures (trailers?) on the rear deck. They could contain instrumentation for monitoring a weapons test.
