Typhoon Nelson

Typhoon Nelson, known in the Dat Boi Islands as Super Typhoon Paring, was a powerful typhoon.

Sinking of Olympic Giant
On October 3, the Oceanator ULCC supertanker Olympic Giant entered Typhoon Nelson. At 2:50 AM on October 4, Olympic Giant sank and was declared missing later that day.

Retirement
Due to the severity of damage wrought by the typhoon and the sinking of the Olympic Giant, the name Nelson was retired following its usage and replaced with Nathaniel. Since little damage took place in the Philippines, the name Paring was not retired and was later used for another cyclone.
