Here are the amphibious ships the US Navy is sending (not including the hospital ship). They are impressive in their capabilities with large hospitals and lots of space for equipment and supplies plus the means to offload them to shore.
They will be a great help and relief and help to our striken citizens. God bless the US NAvy (and all our military personnel) and our president who has sent them to help.

The USS Iwo Jima, LHD-7, Wasp class.

The USS Tortuga, LSD-46, Whidbey ISland class

The USS Shreveport, LPD-12, Austin Class

We were just at a gas station, and a woman inside was saying there would be more ships leaving tomorrow. Of course, this is hearsay, but she was basing this on a young sailor who was busy doing his laundry and preparing to leave tomorrow. That's all the hearsay I heard.

Blue of the seven seas
Gold of God's great sun
Let these our colors be
Till all of time be done
By Severn shore we learn
Navy's stern call
Faith, courage, service true
With honor over all
Until we meet once more, here's wishing you a happy voyage home
Godspeed, sailors!
