Hello anthony, this ship its a german navy fast frigate class 122, the name is Karlsruhe, ca 380 ft long. Its a classic north-atlantic-havy- weather-rider.

I m sen.chief of reserve and some time from year to year on service

at this ship.

Best regats to the states,

Kay.

Probably you joking. This is Biscaya bay with 18 meter waves ? :D There you barely have 6-7 meter waves and you forgetet the swell. At 18 meter waves with your small frigate you are dead no matter in which sea or ocean - Especial in Atlantic or Biscay bay. Look like more to be in Baltic Sea .I don't wish anyone an 8-9 storm in Atlantic or a 9 meter swell in Biscay bay.

Sorry
