My diesel sub transited on the surface in the north Atlantic through a storm once, winter of ‘73. I was one of the two lookouts, safety harnessed in. It was us and the OOD.
Several times I could look straight out, level, off to the side of the sub, and the waves were taller than my position. My perch was probably 30 feet or so above the normal waterline. The waves may have been 40 feet high for all I know. Talk about feeling very small.
Woe to the man who went overboard then.
