Hmmm, I've read that the Navy already had two amphibious ships off the coast, the USS Kearsarge and the USS Oak Hill, so the few thousand Marines and sailors aboard could launch relief operations.
Also, that more than 40 of the island's 69 hospitals were now accepting patients.
It's being said that the call for the Comfort has become just a symbol to send more: more food, more water, more generators, more aircraft ... more everything.
More will take time and since they're having to rebuild the distribution system to deliver the goods to the interior, they have time to get the Comfort there.
