While 10 ships are headed out to sea in preparation for the storm, some are under maintenance and cannot safely deploy.
The USS Lenah Sutcliffe Higbee is leaving Naval Base San Diego, as authorities say it’s for the safety of sailors on board and for the vessel itself.
Sailors work on these ships 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so commanding officers say it’s best to avoid the high winds and heavy rainfall. "There’s other ships that will remain here because it doesn’t make sense in terms of a cost-benefit analysis to get them underway," said Peck. "Any areas on board the ship exposed to the weather, we’ll bring that gear in to make sure it’s protected and doesn’t fly or hit another ship," said Heely.
