Reminds of something my father, a sailor in the British Merchant Marine, told me. He was recounting a ridiculous North Sea gale, basically hurricane force winds. The ship plunged into the trough and then topped the waves, the screws coming well out of the water every time. "It gave me a new respect for naval architects", he said.
