Cool video. I remember being in 30+ foot seas back when I was in the Navy. Not FUN!

Me too. In my Navy days we hit seas like that a few times. NOT fun! Makes for a very wild ride, and no sleep.......

"big seas" takes on a whole new meaning when you nearly stuff an aircraft carrier! WOW!

I've been a mile behind the carrier about to land and seen the props coming out of the water. That will make you pucker!
