The same way it handled smaller waves, by dunking the head, causing the head valve to close, causing the diesels to draw a vacumn in the boat before shutting down, but only after causing the crews eardrums to flex and sinuses to discharge.
In short, an uncomfortable but "routine" experience in any sea. Which is of course the only time we snorted.
