'rp' I do not get your point. Are you suggesting that VLs and STOs were not conducted as per the news reports/articles/whatevers? Mostly we see a top view of the deck fore/aft without a view of either the ship wake or bow wave. The background shows the sea however due the relatively benign sea state I can only imagine that the ship was making some headway, because that is likely for 'steerage' way for the ship. Otherwise they will wallow in whatever swell there is and point their nose this and that way willydenilly.
WOD Wind Over the Deck is a combination of the natural wind and the ship speed into the wind. The ship will make whatever WOD is required at whatever crosswind angle required for the stated tests. Are you suggesting that none of this occurred because you did not see it in any video?
