Seeing such a small ship made me wonder about people that get sea sickness. And how quick does someone get seasick. And if they do is it something that they can just get use to or what? And thinking of that reminds me of the young American Admiral that was lost at sea from aboard the USS Washington. It was a terrible thing to happen but I think Admiral "Ching" Lee was supposed to have that position from the start. After doing a role call twice & finding no one missing & then going to make the report to the Admiral & finding his cabin empty made it obvious that it had been the Admiral that was spotted overboard. They tried to rescue him but the seas were very high and prevented the rescue. I think he was seasick and got washed over by a large wave. Idk why but I'm always forgetting his name. John W. Wilcox Jr. was lost at sea near Scapa Flow off the coast of Ireland. He probably thought going topside would cure his seasickness but got washed overboard by a heavy wave. Died before he ever even seen any enemy action. Poor guy.
