Seen worse in the North Atlantic riding out a Nor’Easter. This was back in 1972 on a sub during a surface transit.

Yep- I was on an icebreaker off the coast of Nova Scotia when a squall hit with 25+ ft waves. Lasted 8 hrs - or so I was told. I ended up losing consciousness after being tossed around for about 20 minutes.

Smoke boat (DBF) or nuc? The classes after 585 roll enough on the surface in bad weather to make Sinbad puke.
