Whos idea was it to put lightweight unsecured furniture on a hardwood floor on an ocean going vessel?
I'll take the case! |

On a cruise we hit some storms that made a lot of people sick, but nothing like that. Not even close. I'd have been shitting bricks.

On the way back to Okinawa from Korea on the USS Frederick in '78. We were on the edge of a typhoon doing 40 degree rolls for three fucking days. Even the Squids were sick.

Been there done that on the USS Wabash in the Indian Ocean. We did one better on the fork lift though. Ours broke loose from the tie downs on the Helo Deck and went over the side. Fork lifts don't float

I could not believe how the people in the lounge would stand around, as if the ships rolling was going to stop.......the lady in the black suit looked like she kissed the column at full-speed.
Hard to believe that much gear went unsecured in the maintenance area. It looked like the wet-cell batteries on the forklift burst, and were sloshing acid all over the floor. |

Yup. Been there on an FFG on my way back to Japan. You can't sleep, eating consisted of sandwhiches. We did major damage to our windbreak doors and jbar davits ripped out. Everytime we smacked a wave the ship would come to a stop and water would completely cover the bridge. I'm lucky that I do not get sea sick.

That was from only 21' swells, I guess being bigger isn't always better, I've been in 25' swells on a 38' hatteras and it wasn't near as violent.

On St. Thomas (USVI) they can enter and dock. When a real ocean going boat showed up they had to stay well out of the harbor and tender everyone in. |

That said, if so, the furniture should be wherever 'away' is, before they took the ship into that WX. |

Looks like a pretty normal day to me. We saw 50 foot seas above the arctic circle north of Norway one year, then I spent 30 days in the Bering Sea a year ago. Last summer we were 30 days in the Agulhas current, off the coast of South Africa. We’ll be in the North Atlantic this winter, for more fun.

Nothing even remotely like the vid, but I had one day off the coast of Alaska that there were quite a few puddles of vomit scattered about the ship. That was the day I learned I had better sea legs than I thought. |
