  3. I do find it interesting (though purely by coincidence) that the two carriers Halsey served aboard; Saratoga and Enterprise. Were both back in Hawaii and the mainland US when he ploughed TF38 into Typhoons Cobra and Connie.

  4. Well Susanoo was the Shinto thunder god and the younger brother of Amaterasu. So I wouldn’t put it pass the IJN resorting to divine intervention or dark magic to try and stop the allies.

  5. One thing I forgot to mention Drach. Was that one of the members of the Board of Inquiry into Halsey’s handling of Typhoon Cobra. Was an old subordinate of his, Rear Admiral (formerly Captain) George D Murray. Who was Enterprise’s captain at the same time Halsey was her Task Force 8/16 Commander.

  6. Sunsanoo-no-Mikoto: What the hell do you think I'm doing Also wouldn't put it pass Umibozu (Japanese Sea Yokai).

  7. 32:38. In this case, it's probably a good thing that the Dauntlesses had been retired from Carrier Ops. As their unfolded wings would have made keeping them on deck a nightmare in those conditions.

  8. So does anyone remember the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode "The Storm." Specifically the conversation/argument between Iroh and Zuko about whether the storm was coming? Because I suspect a very similar one played out on New Jersey's bridge
