I was on the bridge when the wave hit the bridge windows. We were in the water not just a wave. We lost a seaman that day holding the measuring lines. But the interesting thing was that the support frigate behind us someone took photos and we were at a 45⁰ angle with our props in the the clear above the waterline. It must have been when I experienced that wave hitting us in the bridge. Strange was that you don't actually feel it when on the ship. Man it was crazy. Captain lost his position when we berthed.

I always enjoyed storms at sea when I was on the America (CV-66). Some guys would be layed out by sea sickness. Even on a ship that size you still feel the rocking. It's not so bad on the main deck. The ship rolls back and forth but walking can be interesting as you compensate for the changing angles of the deck. Higher up on the 03 level one can feel the rocking much more intensely. If the water is particularly rough you'll feel the ship shudder from time to time. The best part is at rack time. When you go to sleep it's like being rocked to sleep in a cradle.

[@MaxOnePercent]

I saw something similar happen to an aircraft carrier, the Enterprise. We were crossing the Atlantic and they were alongside us a couple maybe 2000 meters off the port side. The seas were really rough. I was in the smoke pit and we were watching the Enterprise off in the distance and we watched the bow dip low and a wave broke over her top. When you consider that the bow of an an aircraft carrier is about 80 feet above the waterline under normal conditions it was really an impressive sight.

[@sid2112]

My uncle was third officer on board her in the 1980s.

[@IAm18PercentCarbon]

I have no idea how naval aircraft put up with that kind of treatment. Rain, wind, water, getting tossed about. Also, rogue waves have been reported to exceed 100ft in height. Even without a bow dip, some waves could reach the deck of a carrier. That'd be a hell of a sight.

I know. These swells are big, but not that big and it's already taking blue water over the bow. Good luck in the really heavy stuff.

I was going up a ladder and we dropped and it felt like I was flying up, took me a few to figure out what was happening but for a moment I was very confused and I had a death grip on that rail. With no windows you have no idea what is happening. The other thing that was fun was being on the bridge on an ffg and holding the bar that went across the bridge and letting your feet swing out when you went down on the other side of a wave. Should have been a bit more concerned but I was very young and dumb back then. Good times.

@@deeho5494 Back in the day you had to be careful. When the ship went nose in the screw would come out of the water. With no water for the screw to push it can cause the engines to RPM much higher than they are designed for. My Grandpa was on a Subchaser in WWII and got caught in a Typhoon. He was in the engine room lashed to his post for hours eating saltines and controlling the throttle for every time the screw came out of the water.

That ain't nuthin', man! From the bridge of my tin can, the USS Fiske, DD842, a Gearing class, Fram II, WWII destroyer. I watched waves pass clear over the bridge, meaning we were completely covered in water, while the wave traveled to the stern. I watched a DE with engine problems, we were escorting back to port, in the same storm, experience the same thing. We could see it's single screw come out of the water, while it's bow was buried in the waves. It took us all night to make it to the mouth of the river leading to our berths in Newport, RI. By that time, we were covered in ice a couple feet thick. We couldn't leave the ship to go home to our families, until we cleaned the ice off. All we had to work with, were broomhandles and dust pans! Fortunately, the Sun came out, and it warmed up enough, to do most of the work for us.
