On night of the September 10th-11th 1995 the QM2 was slammed by a 95 foot high wave, followed by two smaller waves. The captain, Captain Warwick, reported winds to 130 miles per hour with average wave heights of 40 feet. The 95 foot wave hit as most passengers were asleep in their beds at 4:10am. The captain said, "At 04:10am the rogue wave was sighted right ahead, looming out of the darkness from 220°, it looked as though the ship was heading straight for the white cliffs of Dover. The wave seemed to take ages to arrive but it was probably less than a minute before it broke with tremendous force over the bow. An incredible shudder went through the ship, followed a few minutes later by two smaller shudders. There seemed to be two waves in succession as the ship fell into the 'hole' behind the first one. The second wave was of 28-29 meters, whilst breaking, it crashed over the foredeck, carrying away the forward whistle mast.

I always considered it interesting that a P&O Captain was named Commodore of the Cunard Fleet. Bypassing the Cunard captains who had worked for years to be in line for the promotion. Then there is Alistair Greer who was a P&O employee for years. To shed light on why some of you may have heard Cunard feels "very P&O" is because Princess/P&O runs, manages & designs for Cunard. QE/QV were designed by P&O Lead Designer Therese Anderson & didthe recent QM2 refit. Cunard is a shell of its former self

@hurro67 It's also British designed, operated and managed. P&O handles a great deal of Cunard's operations while Princess Cruises handles much of the onboard operations and design og both Icky Vicky and the QE. Lead designer Therse Anderson, who gave us the Love Boat, also designed the last refit for QM2 and her upcoming refit at the end of the year. She may have strong UK owenrship ties..but she is a Carnival Cruise Lines vessel. NO desire to even look or travel on these Carnival ships

Nobody would yell that on today's ships. A radar would detect it and the bow thrusters would be turned on making the ship shift to the side much faster. Before the rudder and shaft propellers were the new. Now the QM2's mermaid pods eliminate the need of a propeller, she has a stronger engine and bow thrusters (propellers on the side of the front of the ship) to make her move faster.

Dont think a bowtruster had make any differens for TT. Because when a ship make way into the water in high speed the bowthrusters doesent have any force. Turbulens from the waterstreaming in high speed make them useless, thats why QE 2 have doors in the tunnels and close them in the sea. Maybe a radar had gained them but like so often in history it wasent invented at that time. 1 st ship who had it.. Hard to know, some kind of workboat and ferrys where early to aply it.
