Hi Mike,

I did too, worst I ever saw was a submarine coming in to port in Spain with a full gale blowing, said the sail planes were touching the seas on each roll, would make the roll about 75 degrees each way! At that port because of the distance of the continental shelf, you have to come in the whole last day on the surface. Modern submarines are poor surface craft being completely round bottomed.

Guys really looked green as well as having a problem walking coming off that boat.
