      @atashgallagher1631 Год назад

      We designed stuff that landed on the moon and yet in my opinion this is far more terrifying. Out in space you know where you are and have nothing that can come and break your ship open other than mechanical failure.
      On the ocean you get hit by a big storm no one knows where you are and those waves smash the ship apart and you get sunk and no one ever finds you.

    • @wyskass861
      @wyskass861 Год назад +51

      It's actually quite easy to make a ship withstand this and anything bigger if desired. The challenge would be to make it so, while at acceptable cost and weight. Engineering is always a compromise between 3 factors of some kind particular to domain. Performance (speed/weight/power/capability/etc..) Quality (durability/survivability/aesthetics/etc..) Cost (price/time). A ship can be made practically indestructible but would be super costly, sacrifice space and weight/payload, less maneuverable and ill suited to its mission. So designers build in just enough strength as needed to deal with expected maximum seas states.
      Any engineering thing will be a balance of these 3 and success is measure by how well requirements are met with least amount of sacrifice of the other factors. If you can neglect one of the 3 factors, engineering becomes much easier, but that is rare in the real world, where funding is finite. Manhattan Project, Apollo program or James Webb telescope may be example exceptions.

    When I was in the Navy we were coming back off westpac and got into a serious storm more than once. Our ship at that time was classified as a destroyer escort. Small ship with approximately 250 sailors. During one storm we probably spent 20% of the time under water. The ship would climb one wave and drop into the trough where the next wave would completely submerge the ship except for the antennas and possibly the stacks. I know because a friend and I were on the O-1 and a half deck where there was a 4 foot high bulkhead where we would watch the waves and when the ship was going under we would duck behind the bulkhead and watch from there as the wave went over the ship. Because the wave was moving one way and the ship the other it created kind of a bubble where we were safe from being washed overboard. Stupid, yes but oh so worth it. Very cool to experience.

I got knocked down on the lookout bridge once. Did lots of damage. Lost a boat with it's davits, port screwguard was ripped off, and our aftermast was just plain gone. Our funnels were bent five degrees to port. Got 3 months of yard and drydock time to get her back to sea again. USS Wilkinson, DL5. Not sure of the year.

    I was also in the RNZN in the 80's and 90's, We encountered quite a few storms at Sea, Worst was probably Cyclone Bola in 1988, Were were crossing the Tasman from Australia back to New Zealand on a Leander Class Frigate, We were tossed about like a cork, and suffered some pretty good damage, NZ suffered some pretty good damage as well and 3 people lost their lives.

We worked 2 weeks at a time and it was the most fun, hardworking, slash stressful time of my life. One thing I DO NOT miss whatsoever was those crazy waves we would sail through whenver we were out in the open seas. There was one shift where we voyaged almost like this for a DAY and I kid you not I could not work for the life of me.... thankfully I worked the night shift so my terror during the day really only lasted for 3 hours (pain...) and then I slept the rest of it off after my shift😂 most rewarding job of my life couldn’t be more grateful for it plus the pay was amazing, miss the extra money though😅

    Went through many of these storms in the Navy, working on the bridge of a carrier. Waves like this would wash down the flight deck. Secret to survival was to keep the bow into the waves the entire time. Made for a wild ride even on a carrier.
    The early carriers had open bows. After one such carrier lost a portion of its forward flight deck in just this type of storm, conversions were completed to several other Essex class carriers closing in the bow. All subsequent carriers were built with closed bows. The conversion was dubbed a Hurricane bow for good reason.
