Does this bring back memories? Went through two hurricanes on a tincan and the second one sent us to the yards for repairs. https://youtu.be/2dlXmuYuAYc

I believe that's the French frigate Latouche-Tréville.
Cool video thanks for sharing.
Just decommissioned this month.
To be determined

I get that a couple of cameras were mounted on the ship but how did they get the long shots?

We went north of the Aleutian Islands on the Carl Vinson in weather that made the ship shudder when it slammed into the waves.

I can't imagine that ride. We had guys on the sub that got seasick before we ever got to bouy 2 Charlie coming out of Charleston, SC. I've told this before, we were way up in the North Atlantic one time in a storm like that and could not copy the broadcast (for orders) cuz waves kept washing over the periscope where the antennas were. 6 hours of 15 to 20 degree rolls. Another reason to ride submarines, you don't have to deal with that stuff for days at a time.

We were submerged. You do not surface to copy the broadcast. You stick the periscope up the antennas are in there. Or you can stick a different mast up and try that but you are risking bending it, even with a fairing on it, and not being able to lower it. The code machines on shore and on the boat have to stay synchronized to copy the broadcast. If our antenna is submerged or the shore antenna gets impeded, you lose synch and have to re-establish it.

Thanks. But I was asking why you rock and roll for 6 hours instead of submerging. I wouldn't think it took 6 hours to communicate but I could be wrong.

They have a neat way now to receive using ELF and floating satellite antenna buoy.

You also are very restricted on speed. That being said I got off the boat back in '77, I'm pretty sure things have improved.

Went through a bad one in 1978 in the Indian Ocean on a 210' Fast Frigate. They secured the weather decks for 3 days meaning no one went outside. We snuck out on the 03 level (third deck above the main deck) it was wild to say the least. The ship had a 6 pack asrock can (anti sub missels) on the bow, the bow would dip into the waves and the asrock can would disappear with the sea spray going way over us on the 03 level It was very western.
You slept on your stomach to keep from getting tossed around in your bunk. After 3 days everyone was tired just trying to hang on. Also had to put a wet paper towel under your food tray to hold it in place while you ate. Gotta be young to do this stuff.

We had open diamond tread mats they put on the tables to keep dishes from sliding. Sometimes underway submerged we'd do "angles and dangles" (usually to show off for riders/VIPs) and make full speed turns or crazy angles up and down which can shake things up a little. Normally a very smooth ride, but running at a full or flank speed you will feel it under your feet.

Whole lotta nope. I've been seasick once and NEVER want to do that again. I'll stay on the ground where I belong (but I will jump out of an airplane on occasion).

Spent a year in dry dock, lost the screw going out again.
