Oops. USS Monteray (USS Independance) should be: USS Monterey (USS Independence).

I have a bad habit of putting a's where "e's should be.

Don't think that was the same storm as, to the best of my knowledge, no WWII flattop had catapults.

I feel seasick just looking at that ship being battered during the storm.

I was on two LSTs (tank landing ships). We didn't even need to be in typhoon to roll like that. 53 degrees rang the bell on the bridge.
