About 6 years ago I was able to tour the Carl Vinson. The petty officer in charge of the anchors told me that on their last tour she took blue water over the flight deck. The deck is 95 feet over the water when fully loaded. Musta been one heck of a ride.

More like 70 feet. The America CV-66 had it's starboard catwalk below the forward flight deck twisted like a pretzel by a wave like these.
