Yeah, lucky until some moron in the pilot house tries to turn us into a wave at 20 knots! That happened the underway before last (the last being that big exercise the media was going bonkers over), someone pulled that shit and just about anything that wasn't secured wound up on the starboard side of whatever space it was in. Gave me a good scare because I was in an office space with a huge stack of boxes of printing paper on the other side.
Anyhow, we get the earthquake effect pretty regularly on my ship simply because we can brave heavy seas like it's nobody's business. Although, my hat's off to the carriers - some of the shit they'll plow through is phenomenal.
I'm a bit uncertain about the codification of sea states. An article on Wikipedia says that Sea State 2 is pretty calm and what you describe sounds more like Sea State 5.
Well, I wouldn't worry for her, Kurisu. Those people tend to take as good care of their ships as possible (as new hulls are hard to come by).
