Why do you think Shakespeare named this play The Tempest?

The play literally opens up mid-storm, and Prospero does conjure up many during the play, but this could be taken in a figurative way.

At the beginning of Act 1, what is the argument between Boatswain and Alonso, Sebastian, Antonio, Ferdinand, and Gonzalo?

They are arguing about whether the master is fit for his position.
