The last half of that vid where they are showing the gunboat burying her snout in the waves... been there, done that... on a 410 foot Destroyer that gave me my name in the middle of an Atlantic hurricane... 40*, 6 second snap rolls.. Ripped our starboard anchor loose from it's chock, tore our motor whaleboat off it's davits and into the sea.. Something I never want to go through again... but when you're 18 and immortal it was kind of fun.. cause you don't know the danger you're really in. That particular storm damaged 3 of Desron 12's Destroyers so much that they had to put into port for emergency repairs... all 7 of us sustained damage of some kind or another.. You gain a healthy respect for the power of the ocean when you see a 2" thick steel anchor chock ripped from the deck.

Great vid... thanks for sharing :clap::clap::clap:

Awesome find Bradford. :clap::clap::clap:

The view from above on the destroyer was incredible. That was cool.

Wouldn't a small boat just go over the waves instead of plowing into them? Except for the waves at the end, most of them had large wavelengths.

I wonder how the Russian and North Atlantic fisherman would compare to the Deadliest catch guys????
I know those Russian guys are some crazy A-- Muthers!
