Underway North Atlantic

The seas are rough today. We're underway in the North Atlantic during the winter. This is in the trough of a 60 foot swell looking up at the crest. The bull nose just popped up after taking dip. It was rough for three days before the storm eased. At times the main deck had three to four foot waves rolling down it. This particular swell the helmsman took slightly off the port bow. This is the view from the bridge thru the sea spray. This was an epic storm and I wouldn't have missed it. Another photo from the shoebox. Shot with Canon TX 35mm film thru sea spray covered glass from the bridge. #USN #underway #NorthAtlantic #AtSea #trough #crest #boot #ship #navy #Schiff #navire #asea #epic #SeaSpray #Ozean #océan #hav
