The Tsunami out at sea
Amazing footage of a Japanese Naval Vessel riding up and over the tsunami generated by the Tohoku Earthquake.

I've a fair idea what they're saying, but won't repeat it because of my high regard for the IIS TOS.

I think I know but it is not suitable for a forum such as this...
I will not post the word I used while watching this video either, that's scary.

Actually, out at sea sometimes these waves are barely noticeable.
The power is in the volume of water that constitute them, which is proportional to the period (of time) between the peaks and the troughs.
Its not until they come into the shallows that they can develop noticeable height.
I'd say that the boat they were on has probably seen way worse than this during a storm.

I wonder how far offshore they were, there were breakers further up the wave.

They were 10 kilometers offshore, I believe.
The crewmen are saying "Get ready, here it comes", then "everybody hold on to something", and then, once the first swell has passed beneath them, "Everyone hang on for the second one".
Words to that effect.

I think a rough translation would be...
"Oh blimey, that's a very big wave"

I used Google translator for my post and I wrote in English:
Hang on to your Hat, here comes a big one. WOW!
then I translated it back to Japanese and it translates as:
Hang your Hat. Here the big one is. Holy Mackeral!
WOW transates as Holy mackeral???
