In December 1944, while on a mission to support MacArthur's invasion of the Philippines, Admiral William "Bull" Halsey unwittingly steered his fleet of 170 ships into the teeth of a massive typhoon. The storm ultimately inflicted twice as much destruction and loss of life as the Battle of Midway, but Navy brass suppressed the scope of the disaster so as not to compromise the American advance on Tokyo. After the ensuing Court of Inquiry, Halsey never spoke again of the disaster. It is only now, thanks to documents declassified sixty years after the events and scores of firsthand accounts from survivors, that the story finally has been told. 538 Requires OverDrive Media Console (file size: 154446 KB). 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Halsey, William F.|q(William Frederick),|d1882-1959. 650 0 Shipwrecks|zPhilippine Sea|xHistory.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Survival.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Typhoons|xHistory|y20th century.|vSound recordings. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xNaval operations, American.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Shipwreck survival.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Survival at sea.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Airplane crash survival.|vSound recordings. 700 1 Clavin, Tom,|d1954- 700 1 Conger, Eric. 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/125983
