Guys people did this in wooden boat. Can you even imagine the size of their balls?

FFG's for a few years at sea. In pretty much any storm in the Atlantic this is a regular occurance.

God I remember this. These storms were awesome on a Navy ship.

It was so much fun driving through them. We sued to take bets on how high a wave would get.

While this is happening, some poor private is tasked with mopping the deck between waves.

As a former mariner with much heavy weather experience, I can assure you that "rolling" in sea like this is much more worrying!
GetOffMyLawnYa
If you're "Rolling" in THESE seas....whoever has The conn needs to be: 1.relieved, and 2. disqualified. (Or fired, as appropriate.)
peoplecalltheromanstheygothehouse
Quite, but I never found pitching like this particularly worrying, apart from the loss of bridge windows which upsets those upstairs
peoplecalltheromanstheygothehouse
FYI both commercial and military experience btw
GetOffMyLawnYa
Shit. Why do they think there are DRAINS in their decks? Just for swabbing???
peoplecalltheromanstheygothehouse
Hey listen, don't be mean, they need love and care remember, looking out of a window and putting lines on a map is very hard work!

The Game Of Life. It's kinda fun, but you get random players in your run. You also always die at the end, so make it count.

GadenKerensky
How strong is that frontal turret; the wave knocked the barrel upwards, but you'd expect repeated waves like that to eventually rip it off?
Pompsu
Well, you shoot projectiles with it, so it should take a lot of banging.
GadenKerensky
Internal pressure of a specifically designed projectile is not quite the same as several tons of water force acting along its length.
vibrantlightsaber
I have to believe when designed they said."it's going on a ship" and took that into consideration as well
GadenKerensky
Point taken.
whatgandalfwhere
Giggity
arednecksquirel
It's probably designed to be moved by large forces of water pushing on it, more damage would be done if it remained stationary
GadenKerensky
I figured that would be the case, but it can only turn elevate so far before water starts forcing it against its mounting.
arednecksquirel
The idea is that it's range of motion with resistance and dampeners should withstand the second of impact from the water
arednecksquirel
You have to remember that even though it's only about a 5" gun just firing it places thousands of tons of force on the mountings
GadenKerensky
I see. Still, it almost seems like it'd be smart to point the gun towards the stern, and have every last safety turned on so it doesn't pop.
arednecksquirel
It may, but for a gun designed to fire 7000 rounds exerting 9217 kilo newtons per shot without major repair should be fine.
arednecksquirel
And the 7000 rounds is because of barrel rifling wear, the mounts should be good indefinitely
TinyOctopus
Tiny Octopus was on a carrier during a hurricane. One of the worst places to be is below decks at the bow. Worst case of seasickness ever.
ACanadianPerson
Did Tiny Octopus barf?
Hiimconner
Which one? and which hurricane?

GetOffMyLawnYa
You would be wrong. On deck you are 2 point connected, and 2 much shit is going on for you to have time to be sick.
GhostofKittyLincoln
Our aircraft carrier was caught in a typhoon for a week, we had waves over the flight deck and fish being washed inside the ship.
Vectorman2
Good to know I can leave for months and you are still doing the same bit! you have dedication I don't understand sir, i'll give you that
daromander
CARRIER HAS ARRIVED!

You make us BigOctopussies proud.
boombaby123
Was on an LHD during my meu. Only ship that decided to go through the storm instead of around. The boat rocked would be an understatement
Verelse
I was on a Minesweeper in the area of a cyclone. Ship had 8 foot draft and made of teak...like a cork in a toilet. Everyone was sick.
GetOffMyLawnYa
I believe.
PhilFromAccounting
I legit almost got seasick watching this gif.
PenguinStuntman
Happy cakeday Tiny Octopus!
ThisIsWhyIDontTrustPeople
Best ride ever! I was on a Destroyer in a hurricane and my workstation was in the bow just above the the sonar. I LOVED it!
LearnSomething
Ugh. The foc'sle was the fucking worst. Some asshole got the idea in his head that we should have our DADT repeal training there 1
LearnSomething
During high seas. Vomit everywhere. Best part was they had just repainted the whole damn thing the week before.
Pikkupanda
ninelbhammer
@tinyoctopus which carrier? I did my first sea tour on CVN77.
TinyOctopus
Tiny Octopus was on the Truman at the time. He also heard horror stories about the Bush and non-working toilets. Sympathies. :D
ninelbhammer
it was a rough tour, Mr. Octopus. Many a deck drain was peed in, and many a plastic bag of poo was deep-sixed.
PleaseDontRespondToMySarcasticCommentsWithASeriousReply
I would like to take this time to thank TinyOctopus for his service!
GetOffMyLawnYa
I'll allow it.
Tkeleth
How did a Tiny Octopus get seasick?!
Yupurineutah
He wasn't one then. That was in his previous carrier.
nukemall
At least his previous career, but it could have been his previous carrier too...
Yupurineutah
Mmm yeah. Something like that.
DickCheneytheDefilerBanned
I was think about joining the navy. Then I remembered that one time I was in a lil row boat. Had a panic attack, jumped in gator infested
DickCheneytheDefilerBanned
2/ Water to swim back to shore. I don't like boats. Joined the army instead
thjoth
That's an Army decision making process if I've ever seen one.
acertainjenesaisquoi
How are those things for stability. I've only done destroyers and those things are ridiculous tippy.
ProbablyDrunkAgain
I remember the "Sonar Dome Shimmy" on my last ship. Sonar dome comes out of the water and the whole ship shakes as it comes down.
ninelbhammer
carriers still move in heavy seas but it's way more gradual. I fell off a stool once but that was during a North Atlantic wintertime storm..
TinyOctopus
Carriers are really stable, it's just cutting through them creates a lot of pitch. Not a lot of list (maybe 10d), just lots of up and down.
acertainjenesaisquoi
That sounds pretty decent then. Worst I've had was 45d either side for three hours straight. Not fun in the slightest.
GadenKerensky
I'd expect them to be stable, given their role.

GadenKerensky
Well, I heard they time take offs when the thing pitches upwards, is that true?
kapp70
@TinyOctopus should have tried being on a surfaced fast attack sub in state 4 and 5 seas. Vomit was everywhere.
Fredfinks
under the sea, under the sea, its where you want to be. down there its better, down where its wetter, you can take it from me.

Good god. Tiny Octopus has to wonder what a canister of bubbleheads was doing on the surface in those conditions.
AsstRegMagician
I rode a fast attack through the heart of a big ass storm in the Atlantic. It was at this moment this dinosaur decided navy air was for him
GetOffMyLawnYa
Some asshole Nuke O-ganger (Fuck you STILL, Engineer!) decided we needed to scram for a drill in the middle of the IO during state 4 seas1/2

The fucking CO about KILLED that idiot! I have never seen a Bird that pissed off....

We were coming back into Norfolk, it was crazy, when the CO said we were gonna submerge and go back out, people cheered. Only time I ever1/2

2seen sailors cheer for staying out at sea.
PlatinumProductions
Or a free amusement park ride!
TinyOctopus
The big problem for Tiny Octopus was no windows. So the room didn't appear to move, but it was. a lot. up and down. up. and. down. up. down.
iHaveAnObsessionWithTheColorBlue
Like a super quick elevator ride to the second floor and back down to the first and so on. Da?
TinyOctopus
relatively slow elevator going up, then quickly crashing down. But general idea, yes.
GetOffMyLawnYa
With a twist.
