A video shows a United States aircraft carrier almost being hit by a missile fired by the Chinese Navy.

Footage of the supposed missile blast can be seen from 0:29 to 0:32 of the video, with a flipped image being shown from 0:46 to 0:48.The blast shown in the video was not caused by a missile fired by the Chinese Navy.
