    The amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1) departs Naval Station Norfolk in advance of Hurricane Irene. Vice Adm. Daniel Holloway, commander, U.S. 2nd Fleet, ordered Sortie Condition Alpha so the ships could avoid storm damage. Irene’s current track indicates it will pass off the Virginia and North Carolina coasts overnight Saturday as a category II hurricane.
