Frequent and strong. Just reading in researching my next book how the escort carrier Chenango, carrying 77 P-40s of the 33rd Fighter Group to North Africa for Operation Torch, went through "bad weather" crossing the Atlantic and came within 3 degrees of the capsizing point one night. Twice.

We definitely want to do what diarist 2nd Lt Jim Reed said he did: "I tied myself into my rack."
