October 9, 1945

9th _____ Not much doing except bade weather out side of harbor believe to be a typhoon. Heard a 110 mile an hour wind hit Okinawa last night. USS Sa Fay
________

Joe left the last sentence unfinished. There's no reference in the USS Santa Fe's history of anything happening on October 9. The light cruiser was in Sasebo Harbor with the Mobile. Maybe all Joe wanted to mention was her presence there.

Pictured is the actual typhoon warning sent to all Navy ships on October 9th.
