@Tt Miller no one can live alone, which implies to country as well. US is rich due to oil resources and other expensive minerals. If one don't export them how will business work. How will country make money. Import and export is necessary for everyone. Sharing is caring. As long as we do that we are humans or else we should count us animals and nothing more, that would be the day earth will get destroyed. Resources don't last for lifetime..

Biggest storm I was ever in, Super Typhoon Zelda Oct/Nov 1994 heading west on the USS Essex LHD-2, in company with the USS Ogden and USS Fort Fisher. We were taking 19 degree rolls and the smaller ships were taking 40 degree rolls. The only time I have ever been sea sick was on the USS Momsen DDG 92 heading south from Everett Washington to San Diego. Feb 2005 about 100 miles off the mouth of the Columbia River. Taking spray over the bridge and when we'd dip into a wave the entire bow, including the 5" gun would be covered by green water.

[@sohammhatre]

You have to be lucky to have survived that.

[@dundonrl]

@@sohammhatre Wasn't anywhere close to hurting the ships. The crew, yeah were suffering.

[@sabyegrp]

Sailed this exact location under similar circumstances. The big difference, we were plowing through at 30 knots on a U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier. We had nearly all aircraft tied down tight down in hangarbay, and only a few copters tied down behind the island. We were taking solid water over the bow on about every third or fourth swell. From my vantage point on the bridge, it was a hell of a ride.

[@erfanraxa3223]

But aircraft carriers r build for all weather conditions?

[@trustyourself5988]

Erfan Raxa i was thinking the Same

[@kemperharris7378]

He didn’t say he didn’t and the carrier probably took any damage in big swells water will wash up on any ships deck and on a carrier is just rolled off and was probably fine

[@sabyegrp]

@@erfanraxa3223 Your right of course. There was no danger to the carrier whatsoever. But from the bridge, the visuals were amazing. Our division also had a large compartment up forward in the bow, just below the flightdeck where we kept and worked on charts. That place was like an out of control elevator during weather like this. Being goofy 22 year olds, we thought that was the coolest ride of all. Lucky no one broke a leg.

[@rembertomondragon6169]

You can only find those on cargo/tankers from 1985-1992, however this ship has a small tower located on the forecastle and the only guard being railings. Its much more practical to stay in the bridge, as radars can detect objects ahead of the vessel instead of endangering crewmen.
