I have taken home videos showing the same when I was on the Saratoga. I worked night ops on the flight deck (G2 Ordnance). It is amazing how much the deck will pitch, and still we we remain open for business. Even seen spray-wash from monstrous seas come over the bow on some occasions.

Facinating video...I think I've seen it before.The way that deck was pitching proves to me that I wouldn't have lasted a day in the Navy (I barely lasted in the Army for that matter).I yorked my lunch onto my keyboard just watching the vid.Lastly....I'm desperately in love with that Ensign (I think it was a gold bar I saw).....I want to have her babies!!!
