[edit] Typhoon that led to JTWC formation

What was the unheralded typhoon in WWII that upset sea battle plans? It should get a passing mention in the opening. --Wetman 22:57, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Good question. They code named it Cobra, and a short report is located here. It appears to have led to the formation of the JTWC, but so far I can't find any references to the JTWC forming before 1958. Thegreatdr 23:29, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
