How not to ship a car...

I was on the USS Tarawa (LHA-1) in 89 during a WESTPAC and we had to go right through a typhoon to get to Hawaii to mount up for Panama that was going down. We were condition Zulu the entire 24 hours powering through that storm (full watertite condition). We had waves reportedly cresting over the flight deck, thats like 5 stories tall. All I know is there were some sick Marines below decks, hot and stuffy didn't help one bit. Our fellow ship USS Anchorage cracked a bulkhead during that storm too. They were an LST that had a flat bottom so they were rolling something awful, one of the guys in tracks told me they recorded a 50 degree roll while they were looking at their gauges. No thanks!
