This typhoon was comparatively small; but, owing to the fact that a number of deballasted destroyers ran smack into it, more damage was inflicted on the Navy than by any other storm since the famous hurricane at Apia, Samoa, in March 1889. Three destroyers capsized and six or seven other ships were seriously damaged, with the loss of almost 800 officers and men. As Admiral Nimitz said, this was the greatest uncompensated loss that the Navy had taken since the Battle of Savo Island.
Didn't know the loses were that high.

I wish we could include specific big local weather events with extreme wind and heavy seas like Typhoon Cobra that struck east of Leyte Gulf in Dec 1944.
Even random/ ahistorical storms would be a big plus.
