(Worthy News) – The U.S. Navy is moving its ships and submarines away from Hawaii on Wednesday as the state braces for the oncoming Hurricane Lane.
Rear Adm. Brian Fort, commander, Naval Surface Group Middle Pacific announced all ships not currently undergoing maintenance would be moved out of Pearl Harbor and placed in a position to help respond after the storm, if needed.
“Based on the current track of the storm, we made the decision to begin to sortie the Pearl Harbor-based ships,” Fort said. “This allows the ships enough time to transit safely out of the path of the storm.” [ Source: UPI (Read More…) ]
