Navy ship hits massive wave head-on in open sea yet the crew laughs it off

A navy ship of New Zealand sailed through a massive wave in the rough seas in the Southern Ocean, and the overwhelming moment was recorded on camera.

Uploaded to Facebook, the footage shows the navy ship bobbing up and down the raging Antarctic waters while quickly approaching a large ocean wave looming in the distance.

Then the water hits the ship rising up to its bridge while the navy ship spears through the colossal wave during one of its expeditions.

However, the recording done by one of the crew members reveals the people onboard cheering and laughing at the waves rather than being scared.

A few years back, a group of Russian fishermen was recorded laughing in delight when a sea lion surprisingly wiggled out of their fishing net.
