    I was on USS Eisenhower running North from Hurricane Hugo (Cat4). We were taking waves over the bow. That storm chased us up the Eastern Seaboard to Nova Scotia. On an aircraft carrier that means 60-70ft swells. Every last hatch and door was secured, even the broken ones. Nothing was left loose, every object was a potential missile. Only critical watch stations were manned. The mess decks served box lunches. It was unsafe to operate the cooking equipment due to the pitching and rolling of the ship.

    I still have the same nightmare of being in a bad storm while serving on USS Belleau Wood LHA-3. The ship rolled so far and stayed there at the edge of capsizing for so long that I was nearly paralyzed with fear. In the hangar bay, the chains holding down the harriers and helicopters creaked and groaned under the intense strain. When she recovered from that roll I never doubted her again.

    I am a US Navy and I am terrified to ride cruise ships because they can easily flip and sink unlike US warships which is certified tested including nuclear blast. US Warships have compensating fuel/ water design to make sure they are kore stable and impossible to flip. And US warships can detect and outside extreme weather conditions.

I was scared to death rolling so hard that another couple feet and we would have rolled right over. Trying to take a dump or a piss was not fun. I managed a shower without being body slammed to the deck. Not sure how.

    RCN here with 15 years service. The only technique I've seen to avoid sinking in a storm was to stay in port, or take the long route around a storm.
    Two examples come to mind. First, in 2015 we got an extra day in Split, Croatia due to a big storm in the Adriatic. Second, in the fall of 2020 heading back from Portsmouth England we ran south under the Azores and then swung north to our home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
    No offense but this video doesn't show any "techniques" for avoiding a sinking.
