You can hear the order "all stop!" just before they plough into the big wave.
Just curious - can the gun, if radar- and computer-controlled, fire with precision under such circumstances? Is there some compensation, like stabilisation for tank guns when the tank goes into rough terrain and fires on the move? does it even make sense if the target is popping up and down with the waves?
