"Interesting to read the book “Halsey’s Typhoon” where they talked about the planes breaking loose on the USS Monterey...one broke loose, crashed into another one, breaking that one loose. "

My grandfather was on the Cabot during Typhoon Cobra. He had some great stories.

Some 40-years later, I loaded my own family aboard the Lincoln in when Subic Bay was evacuated because of the looming Volcano. They were partially clipped by a typhoon on the way out, and in those very same waters. But, it was NOTHING like Cobra - just a bad squall, really.

I used to live in Subic Bay...:)

Did you have to evacuate because of Pinatubo? That must have been damned scary.
