Thanks for the ping.
I was in the tail end of a typhoon off of Japan in March '69 on my Destroyer.
I saw 60-80 ft waves during that storm.
Waves were going clear up to the signal deck which was above the bridge.
The ship took a 47 1/2 degree roll and I saw steel bars bent from the impact of the waves.

Wow. Not something I'd like to witness first hand...gives me the willies just thinking about it.
You be careful come this spring - ya' hear?
