Fear Of The Sea Will Grow After Watching This! (Ships Battling Giant Waves And Storms)

[@ragsdirt3492]

I spent six years in the Navy. The experience of sailing through two typhoons made me cognizant of the power of the sea. It was a baptism of wisdom as I then spent a year in the Mekong river at war in 1968-69. God protected me and prepared me to what was to follow.

[@allenantonio4389]

sorry you had to go to WAR

[@bobbys.3778]

My hats off to all who endure these situations. Much respect

These people are a special breed. God bless 🙏

the ocean is not powerful as you think, it is much more powerful than you could possibly imagine.. A Merchant mariner..

[@lindaavery6984]

I would die from fear 😢, thanks for people like you

[@TerryHawk-h8w]

😂..... YES indeed I would !! Between water and heights.... I'm NO good at ALL !!! 😳

[@rweaver0569]

Never underestimate the power of the Ocean.

She’s fierce and unforgiving. Unpredictable too.

[@TerryHawk-h8w]

EXACTLY !! 😮

[@tallyho7287]

I live on an island in the Pacific. I don’t fear the ocean but it sure has my respect. I never underestimate it!

[@marcmeinzer8859]

Which island was that? I’ve lived on the islands of Oahu and Guam. In Guam you get typhoons so intense that the water seeps through the walls in cinder block buildings. On one submarine patrol we had to dive to a depth of 600 feet in order to stop the rolling. We were taking 20 degree rolls at a depth of 180 feet.

My father in law was a MM sailor when WWll was beginning and told stories of hull rivets popping during bad weather and other tales on the high seas. RIP Carl E. Wolff

[@GTX1123]

My Dad is retired USN. In his 20 yr career, he did 4 out of the last 5 on an Adams Class Destroyer. I remember his ship pulling into port and the aluminum hand rails on the deck ladders that were supposed to be as straight as an arrow, had all kinds of curves and bends in them. When I asked him why, he rather non chalantly said "oh, that's from the huge waves in the N Atlantic battering them for days". At that moment, my 5' 6" Dad was 10 foot tall in my 9 yr old mind.

[@roymonroe8524]

i have a friend on that was in an Aircraft carrier and he said they watch the destroyers turn into subs in the big waves

[@jonathanhansen3709]

I’m the son of a sailor. I have total respect for how powerful the sea is. My father weathered many storms at sea.

USN veteran, rode out seas like these for three days on a shallow draft, flat bottom LST for three days.

[@ebw_servant_of_GOD]

Well you just had too much fun 😂 I was on an Knox class Frigate off the Aleutian Islands for a week waves over our tacan antenna 😵‍💫. We were more of a submarine than a surface ship for the week😅. We had to stop in Japan to have our stack rewelded around the deck. We were there for several days. EBW USN Ret Servant of GOD

[@wahid-lg1kk]

OMG how did you survive that?

[@stevenlowe3245]

Did it turn your hair white? It would have mine.

[@ebw_servant_of_GOD]

@@stevenlowe3245 Nah ... those of use left to stand watch rotation were to busy.... It was neat watching from the bridge... Going into the waves and the ship shake as the sonar dome pushed into the waves and the screws shook as they came out over and over then the reverse you saw the sky etc... In CIC in was great you slid all around if you weren't stilling😵‍💫😅🤣😂... Nobody went on deck unless it was an emergency period...

[@dale7436]

USN myself on a FLAT Bottom LST on the Pacific Ocean going from Japan to Vietnam. Had to stop in the Philippines because of a typhoon with seas that took our ramp seal, which led to taking on sea water into our tank deck. The ocean was so bad that our ship started to crack in the middle, which required dry docking in Guam. Had to tie ourselves into our bunks so as not to land on the sleeping quarters deck. I'd do it again.

[@markandrade7547]

The only reason this happens is because commercial ships travel in a direct/ shortest route and don't attempt to avoid or go around storms. If it was a private/ personal yacht they would plot a course to avoid storms.

[@wahid-lg1kk]

Correct, and we would avoid the north sea

[@zig_ziggy]

Most personal yachts aren't more than 50ft long and just have to take it if caught in a storm, but we still survive.

[@wahid-lg1kk]

@@zig_ziggy yes if you bought the right one.. 😅😅

[@zig_ziggy]

@@wahid-lg1kk I co-designed my own 45ft steel yacht with naval architect Alan Pape. I also then supervised the construction and fitted the yacht out myself - since if you're carrying your family, you want to be 100% sure you've a good yacht.

[@SeaMark782]

Worked on the Bering Sea in the early 80s, just another day at the office. Way before video and Deadliest Catch, got lots of photos of 40 footers. Ride the snake.

[@kevinlast7051]

I wish The narrator, would understand the type’s of vessels he’s talking about I was a ship’s captain for 25 years and a freighter with pipes and manifold’s running the length of its deck. Is some type of tanker be it Chemical or oil. Also the ship which was said to be flooding, was in fact a drilling ship and the water was coming up and down is the Moon pool, that’s how the ship is able to lower the drill to the sea bed, not to be confused with a moon pool on a dive support vessel we’re the diving bell is lowered and raised via the Moon pool to retrieve the diver ready to be air-locked and Equalise the pressure’s to allow the Divers to enter there habitat. If people spend the time to post a video, I think they should spend more time doing the research on the type of vessel they are referring so otherwise it makes it a pointless video.

[@edwaggoner7403]

I loved it at seathrough all kinds of weather. Rode out three hurricanes on a DDG.

Just remember ppl sail on these waves in small 30 foot sailboats. And ppl used to do this in wooden ships hundreds of years before electricity was harnessed

[@paulogeovanne1728]

meu Deus , E assustador !

I've seen first hand waves of this magnitude aboard the USS WACCAMAW AO 109 in the north Atlantic back in December 1969. Not frightened at all. Really cool.

Doesn’t matter how big the ship is, the ocean will take you out

[@SeanGelarden]

Was on a carrier in the arctic circle off the coast of Norway and since it 1,100 feet long we were going up and down about seventy feet and taking waves over the bow, i looked back at the frigate standing stern guard and all you could see was the pilot house, good times

[@Geo.Phenomena]

Your work deserves respect, sir.

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

1:39 isn’t a freighter is it? All that piping on the deck it has to be some kind of bulk carrier isn’t it?? I don’t know I’m asking.

I realised the power of the sea when i looked across Milford Haven at an oil tanker that had bent with a full cargo of oil but stayed almost intact. You could see the kink in its side. I was told it would be emptied and go for scrap. About 1968/69.

[@mikevoltamp6146]

[@gradywilson9213]

As a former sailor, one sleeps if one can on the deck, sometimes tied to something. When trying to eat hold on to your food or you will be wearing it. Last under calmer seas if one need to vomit, step top side, and look at the flag you need to know which way the wind is blowing or you will be wearing your discharge. If you ever wonder what ice sounds like while breaking under the weight of the hull of an ice breaker, it sounds just like a 2 by 4 breaking in half.
