According the the local news here in Norfolk, four Navy ships, the helicopter carrier USS Iwo Jima, amphibious transport dock ship USS Shreveport, dock landing ship USS Tortuga, and the salvage ship USS Grapple left this morning to join the USS Bataan (another helo carrier) in the Gulf of Mexico and provide relief efforts. The Bataan was on exercises in the gulf already.
