Big Wave Video

USS Kitty Hawk in Big Waves

The following video demonstrates big storm waves at sea.

Friday,  January 30, 2009, 11:31 AM USS Kitty Hawk in Western Pacific.
It's not  often you see an aircraft carrier take waves over the  bow.
To put it  in perspective, the deck is 102 feet off the water when  docked.
You can  see the ship shudder when it crests (camera  wiggle).
