If I recall the German Battleship Gneisenau had a prow too small and would nose into heavy seas and have a difficult time coming back up. It had to be redesigned to make the prow taller and wider. My impression of the Nimitz was that it would also have a difficult time coming up after plowing into a heavy wave. It has a substantial sonar dome in front of the visible prow but it does not appear to substantial enough to help the ship recover from going under in a high wave. At least one destroyer in WWII plowed under in heavy weather and sank.
