Man, to keep this in perspective, this is a freakin' aircraft carrier!
I know that there used to be someone here who claimed to have piloted
a boat around the horn, but to drench the bow of an aircraft carrier
is something else!

My school roommate was on the Carrier Bonne Homme Richard in a Cyclone in
the South Pacific when the waves bent the front of the deck. He said they
had green water rolling down the deck. He felt sorry for the DE's with them
as they disappeared completely at times. As well as what could they get to
eat. He said they could at least have coffee and sandwiches on the carrier.
