...nights and a day, the 17,000-ton missile cruiser Canberra cut through an uneasy sea in rain and fog that blotted out the destroyers Barton and Wood port and starboard.

Originator of the brainstorm* is Alex F. Osborn of Manhattan's Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn, who defines it as a method in which groups of people "use their brains to storm a creative problem and do so in Commando fashion, with each stormer audaciously attacking the same objective...
