The Catamount and Her Typhoons Now stand by for heavy rolls. This word, it seemed on occasions, was passed as often as mess gear. During July and August, locating the Catamount could have been done easily by checking the paths of typhoons, for it seemed that invariably both the Catamount and any number of typhoons wanted to go to the same places. There were seldom steaming days without some sign of a typhoon, and even the oldtimers among us said they had never seen so many storms. Our schedule was altered time after time by the swirling winds. The ten-day trip from Subic Bay to Okinawa is normally a short three-day run, but Amy and Wanda forced us to reverse course almost daily; the seven extra days we spent steaming cost us the Hong Kong station ship assignment. Our first night in Beppu was not originally scheduled, but Opel forced us to drop the anchor. The first five days in Sasebo were also not scheduled, but typhoon Ruth took longer than usual to move north then east. Below is a list of the typhoons during the 1 962 typhoon season, most of whom affected our steaming schedule: Joan 16 July Ka te 20 July Louise 23 July Nora 27 July Opel 3 August Patsy 8 August Ruth 16 August Sarah 22 August Thelmo 23 August Vera 26 August Wanda 29 August Amy 30 August Clara 21 Sept. Dinah 30 Sept. Emma 1 Oct. Gilda 3 Oct. Ivy 7 Oct. Jean 7 Nov. These typhoons required evasive action and or affected our schedule. 26
