Bill Buckman, a shipmate of mine, visited me in 2005 and grabbed my Martin six string in our Living Room and gave us this impromptu performance.
In this short video Lipan's bow rises out of the water and slams down taking a large wave over the bow that partially hits the gunmount on the 01 level.  At the very end of the video you'll note some spatters of water on Ben's camera even though this was filmed from high above on the starboard bridge wing.

This is a video of the bow during rough seas filmed from the safety of the Officer's Wardroom.    Ben films through the porthole as a wave hits the port side and wallops the Wardroom good.
This is a video of some rolling seas off the port quarter on the fantail.   Its filmed from the area of the towing engine and there is no awning rigged which leads me to suspect its from the Aleutians aboard Lipan.
In this video there are some rolling seas and high winds on the fantail.  Its filmed from the 01 level, or boatdeck.  A wave hits the port quarter and the resultant spray covers the fantail.
Five part series of Lipan interacting with a Soviet intelligence-gathering trawler on Yankee Station in the Tonkin Gulf off Vietnam circa 1967.  Part 1:  Let the games begin.
Part 2: The race is on.
Part 3: Launching . . .
Part 4:  . . . and Landing
Part 5: Tired from the brief but demanding chase, the Soviet trawler turns away after having lost the battle to thwart the Aircraft Carrier Battle Group.
A nice long video of a ride on an ATF.  Original 8mm film shot by Chief Ben Siebels.
A short video of an Aircraft Carrier and probably a Destroyer replenishing at sea.   The approaching group was filmed on Yankee Station in the Tonkin Gulf off Vietnam circa 1967. 
A video of Lipan's Utility Boat working with P3A Orion Aircraft in the Tonkin Gulf searching for a downed aircraft.  Ron Lahey BM3 at the helm as the boat gets underway.  On the return trip Rich Tetrault BM3 is at the helm while Ron handles the bow line.      
Lipan Swim Call off Vietnam circa 1967.  A lengthy video.  Those of you from that era will see many familiar faces here.       
A funny navy video that has nothing to do with Lipan . . . but it IS funny.
