We have to have Naval ships in the area. How do they make it through the massive tsunami?

As long as they are out at sea they don't have to do anything.

in the deep water the tsunami is a swell and will not affect the ship. It is in shallow water and shoreline you are screwed.

Probably just stand off shore, turn into the wave, and ride it out. The waves aren't really a danger unless you are on shore or close to shore, atleast that is my understanding.

Ask the subs.

They switch to hover mode and wait it out at 3000 feet

they're all pretty much screwed except for the carriers. The carriers launch their aircraft while attaching tow cables to all of them. The aircraft all simultaneously lift the ship from the water and fly it out and over the waves.

Naval ships are all dispatched to Guam to help make sure it does not capsize.

A Tsunami in deep ocean water may only be a few feet at the worst. There will be no noticeable changes to ships at sea. However, if you are under the water (eg a sub), you WILL notice something as the shockwaves go around you. However, these are harmless to the subs.

I don't think they do anything. In deep water, the wave isn't tall and I think it's a non issue.

It'd suck to be to be tied to the pier.

In one of the pics in the NYT, I saw a ferry on top of a 4 story building. Everything dwarf that ship, it was huge.

BTW: I couldn't look at some of the pics, they show some bodies of a little kids, it is so heart breaking.

I heard Houston and City of Corpus Christi were in port in Guam and got ripped from their moorings. No damage to the subs though and the crews are fine.

Yeah, unless they're tossed onto shore, they'll be fine.

Tsunamis aren't really tall waves that flip huge ships, they're more like a rapid raising of the sea level. You might not even notice them if you're out at sea.

A tsunami's energy is stored through the entire depth of the ocean. When over open water, where the energy is spread out over miles of depth, the power of a tsunami is in its speed, not height. It travels at 500-600mph, but you probably wouldn't notice it if it passed under you. But when the tsunami reaches shallower water, that energy is concentrated as the depth decreases. The tsunami begins to slow down, and since energy is conserved, it has to go somewhere. So, the energy of the tsunami stored in its high velocity is transferred into height as it slows down. So only when it reaches shallow water does it become dangerous.

It's like if you have a powerful laser, spread it out so that it is not dangerous, and then focus it into a pinprick. WHen it's spread out it has just as much energy, but it doesn't burn you when you stick your hand in it because the energy is spread out too much. But when you focus it down to a pinprick it'll destroy your hand.
