10:31 GMT 01.08.2021 (Updated: 09:37 GMT 20.06.2023) Breaking a bottle of sparkling wine across the bow is an ancient naval tradition, bringing good luck to a ship - or bad luck if something goes wrong.
A bad omen marred the christening ceremony for the US Navy's newest Virginia-class submarine, the USS Hyman G. Rickover, as a traditional champagne bottle didn't break after hitting the vessel.
Footage of the incident shows Sarah Greenert (who is the daughter of the submarine’s sponsors, Darleen Greenert and Chief of Naval Operations Jonathan Greenert) hitting the bottle two times with no result before she finally manages to break it.
