contents We study two-crested traveling Stokes waves on the surface of an ideal fluid with infinite depth. Following Chen and Saffman (1980), we refer to these waves as class $\mathrm{II}$ Stokes waves. The class $\mathrm{II}$ waves are found from bifurcations from the primary branch of Stokes waves away from the flat surface. These waves are strongly nonlinear, and are disconnected from small-amplitude solutions. Distinct class $\mathrm{II}$ bifurcations are found to occur in the first two oscillations of the velocity versus steepness diagram. The bifurcations in distinct oscillations are not connected via a continuous family of class $\mathrm{II}$ waves. We follow the first two families of class $\mathrm{II}$ waves, which we refer to as the secondary branch (that is primary class $\mathrm{II}$ branch), and the tertiary branch (that is secondary class $\mathrm{II}$ branch). Similar to Stokes waves, the class $\mathrm{II}$ waves follow through a sequence of oscillations in velocity as their steepness rises, and indicate the existence of limiting class $\mathrm{II}$ Stokes waves characterized by a $120$ degree angle at every other wave crest.
