At least three guys from the USS King were swept to their deaths in that storm. I think the photo was taken aboard that ship.Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585442725225382080.post-14868890919681192352009-12-06T03:15:22.440-06:002009-12-06T03:15:22.440-06:00EB

I have pics taken on the bridge of green water going over the bridge. As an IC we maintained the wind anemometers and had displays in our work space. I saw sustained speeds of over 75 knots for hours on end. It was spectacular on the bridge, seeing the force of nature. I believe there were only about 10 of us that did not get sick because that's about all that regularly showed up for meals. I did eat a lot of saltines and drank a lot of tea for the 7 days we were in the storm. We ended up several hundred miles from our destination because we had to go where the sea sent us.Ruckushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059765383428059804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585442725225382080.post-4951035975877677852008-06-13T21:05:00.000-05:002008-06-13T21:05:00.000-05:00Wow!
