Yea - where the USS Comfort?
They may be considering getting the USS Comfort to move, BUT IMO the sticking point is that with all the Mississippi pass disruption they may not feel willing to risk the ship. Better to send the LHD 5 Baatan which took a few moments to add more helos (from Ingleside) before steaming forth. Think about it- extra space ((for people/patients instead of Marines)), operating rooms, etc etc etc.
