Not the worst I've seen. I was holding onto the Gyro doing rounds once and read the roll angle as 42.6 degrees.

WeatherdoG said:Our transit from Hawaii to home on WIN. The sig wave was only about 3-4m with a few 5m and 6m seas thrown in for good measure. The winds were the real culprit, they were out of the south at 25-30kt with gusts to 35kt

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Storm_of_the_Century. It hit us off of Norfolk on the 13th and 14th; at one point we went over 48 degrees and all the furniture in the wardroom broke loose. We rode it out better in an old steamer than some of the other ships in StaNavForLant did though...The 1993 Storm of the Century (also known as the '93 Superstorm, The No Name Storm, or the Great Blizzard of 1993) was a large cyclonic storm that formed over the Gulf of Mexico on March 12, 1993. The storm was unique and notable for its intensity, massive size, and wide-reaching effects; at its height, the storm stretched from Canada to Honduras. The cyclone moved through the Gulf of Mexico and then through the eastern United States before moving on to Canada. The storm eventually dissipated in the North Atlantic Ocean on March 15, 1993.
