wait, a tsunami?
It skipped my mind earlier that tsunami is the word for giant waves that only are 'visible' close to shore.
Also, aren't tsunamis caused by tremors/quakes on the ocean floor (or islands or on shore), and not by wind/storm activity?
Storms are like splashing in water a lot while tsunami's just being more of a single big 'ripple', right?
(okay, bad description and comparison... but sort of gets the point across)
I would hate to be in a sub near shore when one showed up...
try to explain to high command why they are going to need landing ships and cranes, and not a tug, to recover the sub...
