USNS Comfort Arrives Sept 9 in New Orleans
According to a DoD release today, a US Navy ship finally arrived in the New Orleans area in the past few days.
"In another new development, USS Tortuga was positioned pierside in New Orleans, where its crew is now conducting evacuations, distributing food and water, and transporting support troops, NORTHCOM officials said."
To get some info on the ship, its crew and their activities, check out this link.
Today's DoD statement also provided this important news.
"The hospital ship USNS Comfort, capable of treating 250 patients, is scheduled to arrive Sept. 9, DoD homeland defense officials reported today."
I can't locate a URL for the Comfort, but if I do, I'll share it.
