I like Ships too

I understand and have been around the horn too.

It was calm that day only 35 foot waves and a 27 degree roll. Oh I was on a destroyer escort 1/3 the size of a WWII carrier. Gun tub was pushed back into the super structure. Fun times!! I was on the bridge when we did the 27 degree roll. Hold on to the over head bracket my feet out at 45 degree was like I was sitting on air.

When the liner's bridge windows are smashed you are in a real storm...

South of Great Australian Bight 1960 - the captain had diverted South to avoid a force 10 forecast in the Bight. Unfortunately, the Roaring 40s had a worse storm that wasn't covered by any weather forecasting in 1960.

The plus side for me:

1. I won the table tennis competition as the only competitor able to stay on my feet and adjust for the ship's movements.

2. The dining room was nearly empty and I had as many seconds as I wanted.

3. As the storm passed I was able to see the Aurora Australis - the Southern Lights.

Interesting post. I come from a navy family and as kids we followed our father around the world when ever we could. By the time I was old enough to sign the contract I had crossed the Atlantic, Med and Pacific in various types of ships. The week end before I went to boot in San Diego my father took me to a lake near there where one of his friends who was trying for the water and land speed records had a new boat, twin hull with an engine that seemed the size of a VW. It had seating for three but was unfinished with no wind shield or top and the seats didn't have any padding. It was bad luck that the lake wasn't big enough for it so my father and his friends did the math and put governors on the carb so it couldn't go full out. But we were able to get 100 mph out of her and they didn't trust the three of us that got to drive her to maneuver so we had to keep it in a straight line. Pointed at two out crops one at each end of the lake and only enough fuel to get us 2/3 of the way so the engine quit and we coasted to a stop.

I ended up on a wooden mine sweep for two years. Spent more time under water than on top and people don't believe me and I understand why when I tell them we were probably the first navy ship to be boarded by pirates since the early 1800's and that we also sailed under false colors with the crew ordered to wear civs so we looked like fishermen. The old story goes wooden ships and iron men.

My father served on the New Jersey and many types of other ships and even as an enlisted man he and our mother knew many people, royals, politicians, top brass, industrial s and people in sports and entertainment. I was named after one of his uncles who was lost at sea when his ship went down with all hands. I was such a bad sailor (from experience as a child) that I did something really stupid and asked my parents for a favor when I joined up. Not to do me any favors and let me stand on my own feet. Pride is a stupid thing.

I have traveled on ocean liners and we missed one that made the ladies very mad because the boss and our father wanted to take their new cars back to the states and the ship did't have cargo space for them so we ended up on an old troop ship that was on its way to pick up people trapped in a war in North Africa. While there we got jumped and robbed by about 50 or more land pirates. Mostly they were after the women as they were all carrying their life savings in jewels. The three that came at my sister and me were the ugliest dudes I ever saw in my life. LOL

But getting back to the ocean liners. I am too chicken to go on one I would rather sail on an old freight ship that carries a small number of passengers. It is not as nice and you have to figure they are in the cargo business not people, but it is safer and interesting. The crew and officers, few in number, are better sailors than you find on the expensive cruise ships. If you have ever been in trouble at sea you know what I mean.

My father crewed a tall ship in addition to the others he crewed on and I have been on the Spanish Cadet Ship when they pulled into a port where I was on staff duty. Beautiful.

Keep up the good posts mates.

It's good to know there are blue water sailors in the neighborhood.

Not many folk around this joint understand just how big the earth's oceans are.

Wreckage Of WWII Aircraft Carrier Found In The South Pacific

More than 75 years after the aircraft carrier USS Hornet sank in a World War II battle, researchers have uncovered its wreckage 3 miles under the South Pacific Ocean.

The Hornet played a role in several key events of the war — including the Doolittle Raid on Japan and the pivotal Battle of Midway.

Since it sank, its resting place has been a mystery. An expedition crew, funded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, has been searching for "historically significant shipwrecks" using the Research Vessel Petrel.

"We had Hornet on our list of WWII warships that we wanted to locate because of its place in history as an aircraft carrier that saw many pivotal moments in naval battles," Robert Kraft, director of subsea operations for Allen's company Vulcan, said in a statement.

The team used data from national and naval archives, along with a dive from an autonomous underwater vehicle, to find the ship. They located it in the ocean around the Solomon Islands late last month...

"Ships and warships now have to notify Russia of their plans for 45 days and be sure to take on board Russian pilots. The passage may be denied, and in the case of an unauthorized movement along the Northern Sea Route, experts say, Russia will be able to apply emergency measures up to arrest or destroy the vessel."
