Brian, A wave moves
the water around 10 times its height and we were getting tossed around enough
that some personnel were getting sea sick. This means that the surface waves
were definitely greater than 40 feet in height. The short time we were on the
surface from the unintentional broach let us know that the seas were definitely
running greater then 40 feet in height. Subs also
encounter what are termed internal waves in open water that have no correlation
on the surface. You can sometimes feel these internal waves as a slow rise and
fall but you can definitely notice them when viewing a depth gage. Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Natura nihil fit
in frustra From: owner- Jay, That seems really
amazing to me that you were still getting tossed around at 400' what kind
of motion was the sub experiancing? It had to be better than being on or
near the surface ! I remember Carsten telling of a time when he and
some buddies sat out a storm on the bottom for 12 or 24 hours. Brian |
