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.
