  • Ok tough guy. Maybe you live in the Bearing Sea on a row boat and don't think this is a big wave. But the deck of an aircraft carrier is 60' in the air. So when a wave crashes over the bow, the wave is taller than 60'. I'm guessing you follow so far. That's a 5 story house of water hitting your boat. But good job watching the video for 45 minutes.

    First of all, that doesn't even make sense.

    Secondly, the chum is in the water. If you all feel like taking my video of the awesome power of nature and turning it into a political debate, be my guest.

  • Those poor hornets :(

  • "Captain, the deck is all washed clean!"

    "Okay, wipe it dry then!"

  • isnt salt water bad for those jet engines?

  • @raybieze - Hahaha I'm late to the party but... well played.

  • Didn't your Mom ever tell you to put your toys up? Geeze guys lol

  • I came through weather like this when I was on the USS Constellation, at times our destroyer escort got completely covered up. Riding up and down off of swells is something else. I remember someone telling me one of the dangers of this weather is falling off a big swell and exposing the screws which can cause damage by vibration. Thanks for the video.

  • Even Aircraft Carriers have Windscreen Wipers...

  • @raybieze some carriers are even higher,

  • It's a good sized spray...but when you get green water, that's when you gotta watch the fuck out.

  • @jrkepler Not that easy to sail around a typhoon.
