N2 - November 2007 storm in the Black sea provoke a lot of shipwrecks. It is shown, that this storm is not unique (in contrast to some official statements). Historical analogy to this storm is famous storm of November 1854, when fleets of England, France and Turkey near Sevastopol had been annihilated. These events were one of the acts to investigate statistics of Black sea storms. Model SWAN is used for continuous 40-years hindcasting of wave fields. Classification of strong (hs>5m) storms is made. A storm presented as spatial pulse moving over a sea. The parameters of this pulse are specified. Four classes (types) of storm are selected. Return period (5, 10 and 100 years) for each class is estimated.
