This question is for any naval military folk out there . . .

Can naval vessels, from the largest aircraft carriers down to the smaller ships, easily survive severe ocean weather like hurricanes and typhoons? If so, do they even change their training schedules due to bad weather?
Actually, I googled the question to see if there were any record os such a thing. I was stationed on 3 different U.S.; Navy
aircraft carriers, and we experience 5 different typhoons. One of which, we did end up in the 'Eye" of the typhoon. This was in the South China sea of the coast of Laos and Vietnam in the time period of 1958 - 1960. Sorry, don't remmerber which cruise this happened, but it did happen. My thoughts were '"how beautiful" , but "now how do we get out? the same way."
