HMCS Vancouver - Hawaiian Storm

[kramerbazooka]

my biggest, 90 foot seas southwest of Iceland, while in HMCS IROQUOIS, 1987.

[beastlyburry]

8-11 m seas are nothing...thats an average day on the grandbanks....thats why i highly doubt that is the highest recorded in 30 years.....maybe in the pacific, but not in the atlantic....iv seen over 16m

[hemeoncn]

shitty music.  great video.

[jennifer171986]

man i would puke everywhere. you guys are awesome.

[Nathan21122012]

I do not reply to comments that are degrading in Nature (:

[kpelletier343]

so at this point I'd probably be in the heads puking up crackers and fruit juice

[wcresponder]

nice vid....crappy over used junk music, really too bad. less is more.

[Dan5482]

Nice video... Bad music... Thanks god there is the mute button.

[Dusty2K6]

I can only imagine the helmsman's frustration at trying to maintain a course in that state...

[Devostif]

@patgagnon1 I was there too. This was the calm part of the storm.

[1MarEl]

MCDV have been out in some bad storms. Besides, I heard the reg force LCdr got his peepee slapped for not going around the storm anyways.

[BunkerGearGal]

Awesome! These kinds of sea states are great, UNLESS you're fucking hungry! The equivalent of MidRats for several days in a row because it's too fucking dangerous to cook anything becomes very boring.

[Nathan21122012]

Im Jelious I love the storms(:

[nonamemeee]

Oh I can feel your pain. I work aboard a small 450ft shuttle tanker sailing around Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, lighter than water. One particular storm lightship we were doing 40 degrees both ways and a really good swell. Lucky if you get any sleep at all.

Respect from a Merchant Marine 4th Engineer

[fourseasonsfun]

Haha. The MCDV's will never see these sea states, so I am inclined to say the 280s would be a bit worse off as far as ships to be on in Canada.

[Nathan21122012]

@fourseasonsfun WRONG

[fourseasonsfun]

@Nathan21122012 How do you figure. Is this from you own experience sailing 280's and Kingstons? The 280s are FAR more top heavy and will see much greater sea state than any MARS trainer ever will.

[williamwigefield]

depends on the people, but in this state, everyone has a "bad feeling". Some get sick, some never reach that stage. Also, the bigger the ship, the less of an issue it is. Kingston classes are the worst because of there design, in Canada any ways.

[argo84]

@patgagnon1 Stupid question of the day. Is seasickness much of an issue or is everyone acclimated?

[nezzy14]

Think your tough doing that in a destroyer? Try same size waves in a 753 RHIB! Now thats fun!

[rob1233212006]

Someone always has to put shitty music on during these things....

[syckboy]

I was on that trip too Mac.

Wouldn't want to go through 4 days of THAT again.

[hugskins]

That's a storm? We have bigger swells in the harbour in Halifax..

[MrArleigh]

@hugskins good for you captain crunch

[NAllen828]

I was on the HMCS OTTAWA in 2005 on a tour. Awesome ships! We got to see the bridge.. officer's quarters and alot more. Once again Canadians looking badass.

[MrSeabog]

I took the original video and posted it with music by Green Day. It was awesome and had over one million hits. Maybe you should have got my permission before you removed it! Not some nobody LCDR!

[babyfacebosn]

That looks so fun!

[AnjelRocker]

FML. >(

[MrFreedomrequired]

I was there... MS Macmillan....took a fella to his rack and he puked all over me befoe I could get him there...then assisted another into the Cave where the doc administered IV gravol. good fun.....Cheers

[malfoy2]

I like the last music you had better
