As I sail around with a Type II, I usually go for the British East Coast, where there's plenty of coastal vessels. With bad weather you'll eventually will come across ships in distress.

I found the DD east of the Shetlands. Oh, and in the gap between the Orkney and the Shetlands, where there's also plenty of traffic...

I notice it more in Winter months if I have SH3 Commanders 'Seasonal Waves' option enabled, and it's a particularly rough one.

I found several ship in similar cases, one of which was a medium cargo docked at Calais and the rough waves seems to have pushed it to the side which made the metal rubbing noise, another ship was in the same situation only it was on fire.

Like in reality, as Captain Neme has mentioned, ship at sea or dock suffer in bad weather.
