That gif is really stressing me out for some reason

It took me a couple viewings to decide if this was a successful launch or if something went wrong.
It is maddening trend, how a few seconds of video is often clipped out of a larger video and inserted, on infinite loop, in another document with no direct reference or explanation.
Good point... I'll make the GIF a link back to the original YouTube video.

EDIT: Which is here, by the way! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6u4WjYaX2Q

One of the strangest things I've run across on Reddit is a group of people with a kind of thalassophobia (fear of the sea) that is focused on man-made things under or partially submerged in water. They call it submechanophobia and share pictures of such things to spook each other out on their subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/submechanophobia).
Building and launching things (including warships) is a stressful process.
