I was in a storm with 15m/s winds etc and using 1.25x wave heights and I've seen the entire bridge UNDER the water.....

Not much fun for the watch crew!! Would have to have had the bridge hatch shut. Their fatigue went psycho in no time - ended up diving to 50m to escape the wave motion and have a rest. This is exactly what Peter Cremer recalled in his book - having to dive due to being in a hurricane and having to have the bridge hatch closed to avoid being swamped!
