Have the military ships arrived yet?

[gatorboy]

They announced this days ago and I still haven't heard anything new about this relief effort. How long does this stuff take? They coming in from Asia or something?

1. The Comfort is still sitting here in port (Baltimore).

I have no idea why it didn't deploy last weekend.

It's not leaving until tomorrow night.

7. Maybe Monday is what I read earlier. . .

remember, the ships left from Norfolk, Virginia, and will have to go around Florida to get into the Gulf. They've a long way to travel and it'll take time. Why they weren't stocked and set on their way last weekend is beyond me. . . Better to have sailed for no purpose (if the disaster hadn't happened) than to be too late. . .
