Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command ordered all U.S. Navy ships in the Hampton Roads area to sortie on Sept. 10, ahead of Hurricane Florence. There are nearly 30 ships underway from Naval Station Norfolk and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek as Hurricane Florence brings high winds and rain to the Mid-Atlantic coast. Ships have been directed to areas of the Atlantic where they are best postured for storm avoidance. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Garrett LaBarge/Released)
