Heavy Seas

[seafarer]

Sorry, haven't been here much lately,

but I was sent this url - http://tv-antenna.com/heavy-seas/

Amazing pics (check the gallerys, not just the front page)

I cannot image what seas like that would be like in a uBoat - I've been in 40ft seas in a 212ft ship, and that was scary enough. If anything, I think the sea-state in SHIII is conservative, especialy off Nova Scotia and NewFoundland.

Still playing SHIII, just not nearly as much as I'd like, but that's life.

WOW! Just checked out the pics.... amazing stuff.

Rgr being in U-Boat w/ heavy seas... you couldn't stay deep long enough to dodge some storms.

BTW there is a mod at terrapin's site for increasing the size of waves but it has a side effect of sinking other ships. In heavy seas, the water crashing on the deck of some ships is registered as "damage" causing ship to catch fire.

:o
I just remembered why I'll never get a job on a ship!

The sea can be very humbling.

Great pics on that URL!!!!!

Made me remember why I chose the Air Force rather than the Navy.

Nice pictures thanks........the other day I was reading about those 'rogue' waves and they are saying that they are alot more common than what they thought previouslly. The European Space Agency picked up 10 waves above 26 metres with one satelite in a three weeks.

Guys - be careful when clicking on the image in the above post. The site installs malware on your system. I've just done a scan of my system before this session and the PC was clean. Just re-scanned because of the popups (that the pop-up blocker failed to stop) and hey prestoe an data minder appears !

No problem, managed to remove it, but I suppose these "free" hosting sites have to get their income in some way.

When I was in the Navy on the USS Forrestal, we once hit a bad storm crossing the Atlantic. I remember waves coming over the flight deck.

[Glock_17]

Wasnt the Forrestal the first Super Carrier built? Anyways then the fightdeck would be about 60 ft above the waterline?

[The Avon Lady]

I'm green in the face just from looking at these.

Where's the land, for cryin' out loud, where's the land?!?!?! :doh:

First angled deck carrier built. Those waves crashing over the flight deck were huge.

No problems here. but have you ever thought about PM'ing someone with a problem and just quitely sitting back, waiting for a response and not expecting that everyone is hacking in your computer

Yeah.. but then how would others be made awear that thier PC's could fall foul to the same issue if I kept this private by sending a PM rather than in the public domain.

I try to keep the PC clean from the sort of crap that these "free hosting" sites infect on peoples PC's, its not the fact that they "hack" the PC its the fact that it slows even a modern PC down by having another application running in stealth in the background. And if I want a new search option on the toolbar of my browser I would rather make that choice for myself rather than it forced on me simply because I viewed an innocent 3rd partie's image on free hosting site.

Hit a storm coming across the Pacific on our destroyer. The bow would go completely under. The water would hit the forward turret and the spray would soak those of us watching from the signal bridge. When the bow came back up the whole ship would shake like a dog drying itself off.

Fond memories, fun times.

That's a pretty sweet picture. Now ya know why hurricanes are avoided at sea (stupid Halsey...)

Get bitdefender...you can stop it when it tries to install.

Could someone tell me where to find the "big waves mod" for SHIII.
I cant seem to find it at http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/.

Oops... my bad... The url below will take you to Timetraveller's great SH3 site. Just scroll down and there it is.

Happy hunting!

Now that would be cool seas if it was in SH3 huh, imagine playing SH3 with seas like THAT! :rock:

[Schultzy]

:o Scary and humbing pics. Wow, thanks for the link!

[seafarer]

Oops, sorry if there was malware/adware. I mostly use a powerbook and OS X for internet access (everything really, other than games), so never see that stuff (and my game PIV has Spysweeper running, so I never really see it there either - and I never, ever use IE, on any of my machines regardless of their OS).

The site reminded me too of one our research sites when I was doing my M.Sc. - Cobb Seamount off the coast of Washington State. The top of Cobb comes up to somewhere around 125-130ft below the surface - but US Navy divers in the 1970's took pictures that showed it was regularly wave scoured, and Coast Guard incident reports make it clear some VLCC's and ULCC's have bottomed out on it at times.
