The only one I've witnessed was large enough for us to drive up one side and down the other... but one of the successive waves broke. I couldn't tell you the angle readings as we weren't recording them and during the event I wasn't checking anything but my pants ;) (Dan, if you're reading.... how's that stack holding up ;) You hope they don’t break over the ship but depends on wavelength.

I guess these sorts of waves are so big that they don't break over a ship? Even a VLCC??? What kind of angle does a ship take riding up/down one of these things? Is that a real photograph of a “rogue wave” ???
