So all these sailors have to scramble to get underway while leaving their families behind to fend for themselves? Hope the Navy is taking care of them.
Most sailors assigned ships company have permemant arrangements in place including Direct Deposit etc. I don't know what the actual days per year many are seeing at sea these days but when I was in we were underway a lot more than in port. s for the carrier? This order will only likely mean 2200 or so of the normal 5000 plus will actually go to sea. The air wings will likely stay put. Airwing crew does not remain on board in port like Ships Company does. They go back to their Squadron Base at one of the Naval Air Stations.
Those ships will likely be back in port by next weekend. The Navy has usually moved ships out in advance of huge storms of this nature. The exceptions usually are ones in the shipyard under repairs and the yards have the means to secure ships that the unprotected piers at the bases don't have.
