The Cruel Sea was on TV recently. It contains old newsreel film of an
aircraft carrier in an Arctic convoy in a storm. An aircraft carrier
buries the front of the deck in a wave. In fact the film was taken in
an Atlantic convoy.

Possibly the same film clip is here

Otherwise known as "shipping it green".

At least the seas were rough and the ships were able to stand up to such
weather, not like Queen Victoria which would roll on wet blotting paper
................ second picture here and tell me where the rough sea is

Been on Queen Victoria ONCE :-( They ought to tie her up alongside the quay
and use her as a novelty hotel and throw the engine room key away
