During near-field underwater explosions, the bubble motion may cause a "whipping" effect on ships, resulting in severe vertical deformations ( Zhang et al., 2008a; Li et al., 2018; Gan et al., 2021 ). The water jet formed by the collapse of bubbles can also cause severe local damage to the structure ( Hsu et al., 2013 ).
