The USS Pickaway LPA 222 was hit with a rogue wave like this back in the late 60's in the south China Sea--Darn I am an old man! The Queen Elizabeth was hit by a rogue wave over 80 ft high while on a high speed crossing during WWII. All the glass in the Pilot House was shattered and she was rolled within 2 degrees of the point of no return.
If she had been rolled at over 30 knots she would have driven under instantly and the loss would be a total mystery.
