I have written that I have few memories of our time in Japan but among those incidents I do remember is being in a typhoon. The recent typhoon that hit Okinawa brought this to my mind. We spent most of our time at the small city of Wakanoura awaiting the clearing of mines from the harbor at Nagoya.
To avoid most of the damage from the typhoon we left the port and went to sea. While the Pickens was driven to pitching and rollong we avoid hitting another ship or being driven into the land.
The most damaging typhoon hit Okinawa November 9, becoming a disaster. A total of 12 ships and craft were sunk, 222 were grounded, and 32 were severely damaged,.
