  1. Looks like the ship performed as advertised.

    That is just one more reason for me not to go on a cruise.

    By the way, did you see how many cruises Fani Willis went on with her boyfriend?

  2. Just watched msNBC morning show in progress
    It was JUICEY
    Now THAT is must see tv

    {THEY [including a RNC Post Holder plotting Biden Strats on TBV by the name of Steele with the wax head] spent all morning supporting each other emotionally. Fani waxxed them white crackers. Didn’t she? Didn’t she? DIDN’T SHE?

    This is the deliciousness Elon must have tasted with Twitters, I mean X

    FANI BALLSSSSSssssssss

  3. A whole lot of us watched a destroyer in a typhoon in the S China Sea between Hong Kong and the Philippines during the Spring of 1974 from the sponson on the aft (rear) end of the Kitty Hawk. That poor destroyer was going up and down and to starboard (right) with one wave and to port (left) with the next wave. Up and down and side to side, I’m glad that I wasn’t on that tin can. Those poor guys on that tin can and were really getting it while the Kitty Hawk was being buffeted by a 5- or 6-degree list as well and we could hear the Hawk creaking loud enough to get out attn. during that storm. We were shut down nearly for an entire week in that storm, with all the planes that could fit in the hangar deck were down below and nobody and I mean nobody was allowed on the flight deck unless they were tied to a tether line in an emergency only. The bigger planes like the E-2 Hawkeyes (AWACS planes) were secured down with extra hurricane tie down chains secured tightly to the pad eyes in the flight deck since they wouldn’t fit down below inside the hangar deck. When you have waves crashing over the top of the flight deck at 80 to 90 ft. above those raging seas you know that you’re in rough waters. I never got seasick, but it was still a hairy ride thru those waters.

  4. Actually, if you look at the waves breaking against the bow and the effects of the wind taking the spray lengthwise down the ship he is under power and maintaining the proper heading into the wind. But for how long?

    Bet the puke bags were full.

    mortem tyrannis
    izlamo delenda est …

    What puke bags? Everyone is in bed holding on for dear life – waiting for the life jacket call! Cruise from San Francisco to Hawaii is a butt clincher in bad weather…..

    I’m pretty sure there’s no newbies n board that ship….

  6. Geoff, I’m guessing by your description that anyone who felt an urge to eat on that destroyer were limited to sandwiches. Can’t imagine they could cook much of anything in seas rolling the ship that much

  7. Admiral Halsey was almost court marshaled in WWII for sailing his fleet into a typhoon.

    We have no interest in going on a cruise ship. Not only do they have lots of problems, real and potential, but they have ruined many scenic destinations. Venice is an armpit now from what I understand. The city is dirty and overrun, and the gigantic cruise ships dwarf the city itself.

    The Queen Mary II sails between the US and Europe. We would like to do that. MrsRadioMattM and I are probably unusual by this point. My father was in the army and when we moved to Germany, we went over on a (military) ocean liner. The lovely Mrs. RMM sailed both to and from Australia. An ocean liner is different than a cruise ship.

  8. Been on a destroyer in a typhoon and experienced 50-60 degree rolls. unless. you’re on watch you are tied to your rack literally. Learn to walk on bulk heads to get around. You ain’t lived until you do it on a 30 year old destroyer wearing a life jacket to eat shit on a

  9. I wonder . . .
    Without having seen the actual video in question,
    And solely based upon the rofls above,
    Was this a cruise ship that made an unexpected detour to Hawaii in April of that year?
