The Sea is Trying to Kill You-Halsey's Typhoons with Jon Parshall - Episode 408
Update: 2024-08-061
Description
This week Seth and Bill are joined by good buddy Jon Parshall to break down Typhoon Cobra and Typhoon Viper, better known as Halsey's Typhoons. Typhoon Cobram which occurred in December 1944 wreaked more havoc and devastation on Halsey's 3rd Fleet than the Japanese ever did at any one time. The guys go deep into the weeds and talk about the early warnings of the storm's arrival, Halsey and Kosco's failure to heed said warnings, and Mother Nature's wrath as three American destroyers are sunk and nearly 800 American lives are lost in the one storm that is the most devastating nature disaster ever suffered by the United States Navy. And if that wasn't bad enough, six months later in June 1945, it happened again with Typhoon Viper.
