Got any videos of that Navy technique? Can't say I've heard of it, and a few minutes of Youtube searches don't find anything. I have been in helicopters landing on ships at sea, though not in rough seas, and they didn't do anything particularly special. The helicopters did have landing gear with suspension and shock absorbers, though. I wonder how much shock absorption capability the F9 landing legs have, and if they can add in some more.

I actually saw it as part of a show on small helicarriers that the Marines use, probably the show "Firepower" or "Wings" there was a period of time when I was researching military equipment in support of an RTS game design and I went through hours of documentary type shows to understand the capabilities around modern (late 20th century) weaponry.
