Brett's Rogue wave video for the day....

[RogerThat99]

The section where the wave is breaking before it gets to the boat is amazing. How much freeboard do you think that ship has?

[WESTERNAERO]

Almost as big as some wake-board boats rollers.

It's not a large ship. That's obvious. And you can hear the crew's butt's pucker as they go almost straight up the side of the wave....the balancing act going across the top of the wave should have broken the back of the ship and sent it to the bottom. They realize that they dodged a bullet I think...you can hear after they get back to open water....it's as amazing a video as it is terrifying....

A guy I know down here works on a 80' supply ship out in the Gulf that delivers stuff to the oil rigs, he goes out for three week tours, he tells me you wouldn't believe the chit that comes up out in the open sea and it's just the Gulf, he says it's tons worse in the Atlantic, not me, I freak out when there, 3-5 fters, I'll stay on dry land.

Rogue Wave?? Not too sure. Gigantic wave? Oh yeah. This is what a 40, yes 40 degree roll looks like on a container ship...surprised they did not lose it all over the side...amazing footage...take a look...

When I was in the Marines I was stationed on a few navy ships during my years for westpac and 3 med cruises. When I was on the uss tarawa in the pacific we went right through a storm that created waves so big we buried the bow/end of the flight deck 3 times in 5 min. It was pretty intense. Lots of sick servicemen and the boat reaked of puke for days. It was awesome!! The violent crashing sound of the steel hull getting beat up was indescribable.

Robby...I was Navy, did two Westpacs and three med cruises.....had a blast...we will have to get together some day and swap some stories.... :-D:-D:-D

P.S. Yeah on the Tarawa burying the bow is awesome...but on the Nimitz....???
