Hi all, usually just a lurker....but yes those waves happen IRL. I was in worse than that in the Mediterranean Sea in 1988 onboard USS Bainbridge CGN25. We actually attempted a rescue of two Greeks who were in a sailboat that capsized in a storm with 75 ft seas. The waves were breaking over the bridgewings, and we managed to save one civilian but when another wave went over the bow the second guy had just disappeared. Some really amazing weather, had to buckle up in Sonar on the stacks, as one minute you would be above the stack and the next the stack would be above you
