And the Comfort is on it's way too.

The carrier (along with an amphib) will be the only ship capable of supporting the command and control of the operation. The hospital ship is just that, a hospital. The amphib will carry the ground forces and marine air assets while the carrier supports the naval side of the show along with the command staff.

They can surely use both...

Checking out pictures on the SIPR side, it's brutal. Other than many buildings collapsed, it's just pure havoc in the country. I thought I saw the worst in the LA earthquakes in 1994 and Katrina in 2005, but turns out I was proven wrong.
