Typhoon Louise vs. the United States Navy

- Catastrophe at Okinawa, October 9-10, 1945

af Gene Eric Salecker
Typhoon Louise vs. the United States Navy af Gene Eric Salecker
Bag om Typhoon Louise vs. the United States Navy

World War II was over and the U.S. was still using the captured Japanese island of Okinawa as a major naval base. Hundreds of vessels dotted the numerous bays and inlets, and thousands of military personnel occupied the island. In October 1945, Typhoon Louise tore into Okinawa, slamming ships together and tossing them onto reefs and beaches. Terrible winds tore up tent cities and disintegrated corrugated tin Quonset huts. One hundred people died and 383 ships of all sizes were sunk or damaged. This book tells the full story of the typhoon historian Samuel Eliot Morison called "the most furious and lethal storm ever encountered by the United States Navy."
