20 to 30 foot choppy seas with 50 to 60 mph winds

This is not the sort of ocean weather where anything useful can be accomplished with a ship. It might be okay for a submarine that can go underneath a storm but any ocean going ship could be compromised in this kind of weather. And then you are going to send ships into find potential plane debris and a wing or a tail under the surface?

It would be more likely that a ship hits the debris and causes it to sink than it would be to find it if that is what it is instead of a container that fell off a container ship or something like that. And hopefully you won't sink any ships searching for the potentially downed aircraft if they hit the debris by accident during the storms.

On one level this just doesn't make any sense. The way the aircraft disappeared doesn't make any sense. The place they are looking doesn't make any sense and the way they are looking for it during a storm doesn't make any sense. What is the likelihood of anyone finding anything useful? I'd say at present the likelihood is about Zero under present conditions even if it crashed somewhere in this vicinity.
