No kidding...can you imagine being on a destroyer? Great book: “Halsey’s Typhoon”.
Frightening.
And my uncle said that, that storm they went through was NOTHING like to first one Halsey went through. He was on the way on the Missouri (somewhere around the east Pacific) when that task force went through that first storm.
The boys on the destroyers were at the mercy of the seas.
