Got this from a friend who's brother is in the RCN.

Last year the HMCS Vancouver sailed to Hawaii to support a U.S. Submarine.
For 6 days the ship was pounded with 8-11 meter seas. The largest recorded in over 30 years.

(At about 2 minutes theres a massive wave that strikes the bow. If you know how massive the HMCS Vancouver is, you can only imagine the size of these waves!)

Damn that's quite the roll angle they get going on there. The Binnacle on the Bridge is hitting 45 degrees. heh

P.S. HMCS Vancouver isn't that big. :p
