{{AnnoWiki|content=[[File:Icon_achievement_DETONATED.png|left]] '''Detonation''' in ''World of Warships'' is caused by the ignition of at least one of a ship's magazine modules.

On a gunship, the magazines are spaces where the powder charges and [[Ship:Ammo|shells]] are stored. In game, the magazines for the main battery are represented by '''magazine modules.'''  Damage sufficient to cause a magazine module to explode results in the destruction of the entire ship.}} 

== Causing Detonation ==

[[File:Spee_mag.png|right|thumb|The Armor Viewer in the Port Screen can be used to show the locations of the magazines, such as the ones on ''[[Admiral Graf Spee]]''.]]
To cause a detonation to occur, damage needs to be dealt to the magazines, which are found underneath the primary turrets and/or primary artillery.  In other words ships, like ''[[Novik]]'', that have non-enclosed rifles behind blast shields have magazines located beneath the deck.  Damage to the magazines can be caused by penetrating damage from direct hits by armor-piercing shells or splash damage from high explosive shells or [[Ship:Torpedoes|torpedoes]]. 

== Detonation Chance ==

It should be noted that there is no situation in the game that warrants a 100% detonation chance. With that said, certain actions or choices will increase the probability of Detonation; a few of them are highlighted below: 

* Damage to a magazine increases the chances of detonation occurring. When a magazine loses all of its health points (HP), the chance of detonation will increase to its maximum native value.  (Note that this is still below 100%.)  Each ship has its own metric for calculating detonation chance based upon magazine HP. 
** Aircraft carriers and submarines cannot detonate since they have no magazine.
* Each ship has its own armor value for the magazines, therefore ships with thinner magazine armor have a higher detonation chance. 
* Mounting either India X-Ray&thinsp;{{India X-Ray|Size=18px}} or Juliet Whiskey Unaone&thinsp;{{Juliet Whiskey Unaone|Size=18px}} increases magazine detonation chance.<ref>Unless overridden by the Juliet Charlie {{Juliet Charlie|Size=18px}} signal.</ref>
* A ship with a health pool greater than 75% of its maximum cannot detonate.<ref>[[Ship:Update 0.7.2|Update 0.7.2]]</ref>  
** A damage source that drops a ship's HP below 75% will not itself cause a detonation.  However, the next hit might.  
:{{AnnoWiki|content='''Example:''' A ship at 80% health is hit by a salvo of three shells, each causing 10% damage.  The hits are evaluated in order.  The first drops the ship HP to 70%; the next two each have a chance to detonate the magazines (all other conditions met).}}

== Detonation Damage == 

A magazine detonation is fatal to the ship.  The Detonated achievement is awarded (in modes where achievement awards are enabled.)

== Mitigating Detonation ==

The chance of detonation can be decreased in these ways: 

* Mounting the Juliet Charlie {{Juliet Charlie|Size=18px}}&thinsp;signal flag pegs the chance of magazine detonation to 0%, '''making detonation impossible.'''
* Using Magazine Modifications 1 as the module upgrade in [[Ship:Upgrades#Tier_I.2B_Equipment_.28Slot_1.29|Slot 1]] decreases the chance of magazine detonation by 70%. (With Juliet Charlie available, there is little point to this upgrade.)
* Avoid taking torpedo hits near the magazines. 
* Use '''angling''' to increase the effective thickness of the ship's armor and increase the possibility of a bounce.  Presenting the bow, or if necessary the stern, to incoming fire at a steep angle also minimizes the apparent size of the target (you).  Presenting flat broadside to  incoming fire increases the chance of detonation.
