Crew on the bridge in reality?

Yet another question about how the game mimics reality. So in bad weather with 15 km/hr winds and huge waves, there are numerous times when I'll be on the bridge and the entier boat and everyone on the bridge will submerge a couple meters under water. I'm assuming in bad weather this is realistic. My question, what did they do in real life? Did they really force people to man the bridge during such conditions? I'm assuming the people would have had to tie themselves off so they wouldn't go washing away. Not to mention I'm betting it would be VERY cold.

Man, modern day submariners have it easy. I was reading about one sub today that is so big there is literally a swimming pool in it?!? Now that's irony. :p
