> There were attempts to create tsunamis with nukes. But I’m not sure how effective this sort of thing would be against a carrier. Not very effective. Tsunami waves move huge volumes of water, but in the open ocean they are also very long waves. Their travel speed is about the same as the "linear long wave speed", or about sqrt(g*D) where D is the depth of the water. As these waves approach the shore, however, the ocean becomes more shallow. Waves slow down. The tsunami effectively "piles up" on itself, and a wave that was a little high and a lot long becomes a wave that's a lot high and a little long. A carrier operating away from shore would see the tsunami in its more benign state. Coastal cities, however, would be in trouble.
