Typhoon Cobra
Typhoon Cobra, also known as the Typhoon of 1944 or Halsey's Typhoon (named after Admiral William 'Bull' Halsey), was the United States Navy designation for a tropical cyclone that struck the United States Pacific Fleet in December 1944 during World War II.
William Halsey Jr.
William Frederick Halsey Jr., GBE (October 30, 1882August 16, 1959), known as Bill Halsey or "Bull" Halsey, was an American admiral in the United States Navy during World War II.
 He is one of the four individuals to have attained the rank of Fleet Admiral of the United States Navy.
Typhoon Shanshan (2006)
Typhoon Shanshan, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Luis, was a strong typhoon that affected parts of East Asia in late September 2006.
 The 13th named storm of the 2006 Pacific typhoon season, Typhoon Shanshan was also the seventh typhoon of the year operationally recognised by the Japan Meteorological Agency.
 In post-operational analysis Shanshan became the eighth typhoon of the year when Typhoon Maria was added to the list.
 The Joint Typhoon Warning Center considered Shanshan the 13th tropical storm and eighth typhoon of the season, a Category 4-equivalent typhoon in terms of 1-minute average wind speed.
 The name "Shanshan" was submitted to the naming list by Hong Kong and is a girls' given name. Typhoon Nesat (2011)
Typhoon Nesat, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Pedring, was the most powerful tropical cyclone to directly impact China since 2005.
 It also struck the Philippines during the 2011 Pacific typhoon season, killing 83 people.
 It is the 17th named storm, the 11th severe tropical storm, the 7th typhoon and overall, the 30th tropical cyclone to be monitored by the Japan Meteorological Agency(JMA) during the year.
 Nesat came exactly two years after Typhoon Ketsana made landfall in the Philippines as the most devastating typhoon in the 2009 Pacific typhoon season with a damage of 1.09 billion and 747 fatalities.
 Nesat was also the first of twin tropical cyclones to batter the Philippines within one week during September 2011, the second was Nalgae. Typhoon Krovanh (2003)
Typhoon Krovanh, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Niña, was a moderate tropical cyclone that caused a swath of damage stretching from the Philippines to Vietnam in August 2003.
 The fifteenth named storm and sixth typhoon in the western Pacific that year, Krovanh originated from a tropical disturbance within the monsoon trough on August 13.
 Despite rather favorable conditions, the initial tropical depression did not intensify significantly and degenerated into a remnant low on August 18.
 However, these remnants were able to reorganize and the system was reclassified as a tropical cyclone a day later.
 Intensification was rather rapid upon the storm's reformation – the depression reached tropical storm status on August 20 and then typhoon intensity two days later.
 Shortly after, Krovanh made landfall on Luzon at peak intensity with winds of 120 km/h (75 mph).
 The typhoon emerged into the South China Sea as a much weaker tropical storm, though it was able to restrengthen over warm waters.
 Once again at typhoon intensity, Krovanh clipped Haiyan before moving over the Leizhou Peninsula on its way to a final landfall near Cẩm Phả, Vietnam on August 25.
 Quick weakening due to land interaction occurred as Krovanh moved across northern Vietnam, where the storm met its demise the following day. USS Dewey (DD-349)
The first USS "Dewey" (DD-349) was a "Farragut"-class destroyer of the United States Navy, launched in 1934 and named for Admiral George Dewey.
 "Dewey" served in the Pacific through World War II.
 After escaping damage during the attack on Pearl Harbor, "Dewey" screened the aircraft carrier USS "Lexington" until the carrier was lost in the battle of the Coral Sea; then screened USS "Saratoga" through the invasion of Guadalcanal and the battle of the Eastern Solomons.
 Following overhaul in San Francisco, "Dewey" spent 1943 in Alaskan waters supporting the invasions of Attu and Kiska.
 "Dewey" spent 1944 supporting raids in the Marshalls, Carolines, and Marianas, including screening carriers during the battle of the Philippine Sea.
 After being damaged by Typhoon Cobra during the recapture of the Philippines, "Dewey" supported the invasion of Iwo Jima and spent the remainder of the war screening replenishment oilers. Typhoon Koppu
Typhoon Koppu, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Lando, was a powerful and devastating tropical cyclone that struck Luzon in October 2015.
 It was the twenty-fourth named storm and the fifteenth typhoon of the annual typhoon season.
 Similar to Goni earlier in the year, Koppu originated from a tropical disturbance east of the Mariana Islands on October 10.
 Moving briskly west, the system consolidated into a tropical depression the following day and further into a tropical storm on October 13.
 Situated over the warm waters of the Philippine Sea, Koppu quickly deepened.
 The storm reached its peak intensity on October 17 with ten-minute sustained winds of 185 km/h (115 mph) according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
 The Joint Typhoon Warning Center assessed Koppu to have been a Category 4-equivalent super typhoon with one-minute sustained winds of 240 km/h (150 mph).
 The storm subsequently made landfall at this strength near Casiguran, Philippines.
 Rapid weakening ensued due to interaction with the mountainous terrain of Luzon and the disheveled core of Koppu emerged over the West Philippine Sea on October 19.
 Unfavorable environmental conditions inhibited reorganization and the system diminished to a tropical depression on October 21. The Caine Mutiny
The Caine Mutiny is a 1951 Pulitzer Prize–winning novel by Herman Wouk.
 The novel grew out of Wouk's personal experiences aboard a destroyer-minesweeper in the Pacific in World War II and deals with, among other things, the moral and ethical decisions made at sea by the captains of ships.
 The mutiny of the title is legalistic, not violent, and takes place during Typhoon Cobra, in December 1944.
 The court-martial that results provides the dramatic climax to the plot. Typhoon Maysak (2015)
Typhoon Maysak, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Chedeng, was the most powerful pre-April tropical cyclone on record in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean.
 The fourth named storm of the 2015 Pacific typhoon season, Maysak originated as a tropical depression on March 26.
 The next day, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) upgraded the depression to a tropical storm and assigned it the name "Maysak".
 According to the JMA, Maysak became the second typhoon of the year on March 28.
 The typhoon explosively intensified into a Category 5 super typhoon on March 31, passing near the islands of Chuuk and Yap in the Federated States of Micronesia.
 After maintaining that intensity for 18 hours, Maysak weakened, made landfall over the Philippine island of Luzon as a minimal tropical storm, and dissipated shortly afterwards. Typhoon 2
Typhoon 2 was a robot in the UK television series Robot Wars, noteworthy for being the final champion of the show before it was cancelled.
 It was a full-body spinner with cutting claws.
 In two battles in series 7, which it competed in, it knocked out the arena wall, causing the match to restart.
 It was created by 870 Dreghorn Squadron's Air Cadets from the Air Training Corps and painted to resemble the RAF crest.
 Named after the Eurofighter Typhoon.
 The team also had a 3-time middleweight champion called Typhoon, a Lightweight called Typhoon Thunder (Champion of Robot Wars: Extreme II) which also makes Typhoon Twins with Typhoon Lightning, and a featherweight called Typhoon Cadet.
 Gary Cairns, the team captain, later ran a 3D Printing business and fought in the 2016 Robot Wars with PP3D, which reached the second round group stage in its heat, but lost, ironically, to Storm 2 in the decisive battle, before losing at the same stage a year later due to control problems in its battles.
