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.
You can bet the flight director was wishing he had parked that chopper a lot further aft.
This is USS KITTY HAWK

Had to ride on a flat bottomed LST in 30 foot seas! It was pretty interesting to say the least.
