Was on CVN-68 when we shifted from Norfolk to Bremerton after a Med deployment in 1987. Seas were 30-40 ft and relative winds 110 kts.
I know Tiger Cruises were still happening three years ago.
Would you want YOUR car on the deck secured by a parking brake during that? I wouldn’t.
I was on the Nimitz in the early 80’s coming back from a Med cruise. We got into a bad storm in the Atlantic. They had to replace a bunch of catwalks and antennas at flight deck level towards the bow. Slept like a baby while I was off duty during the storm. The sailors on the cruiser accompanying us had a tough go of it. I suspect they have better forecasting tools these days so as to avoid unnecessary damage.
