In a typhoon, pitch black, rain in your face, can't see 200 yards when my boat topped a swell and passing in the opposite direction 100 yards off my beam was a Japanese destroyer. The waves were pitching so bad neither of us could get a bead on each other and we passed back into the gloom. I thought I was not going to see the ladies at Pearl ever again on that one.
