Ships are big machines, so it's nice to know everything is working. And there's food, do they have enough for the crew and the patients? Civies don't get it.
One other thing to remember, well two. First, she was going to Houston, and some of the medical people predeployed there. Then that was canceled and they had to get back to Norfolk from a disaster area.
Second, sending Comfort out immediately had a small problem, Maria. We didn't know exactly where she was going next and sending an asset without know if it would be caught in a Cat 5 is dubious.
And finally, Comfort is not a first responder. We have amphib ships there who are fulling that mission. They're trained to handle mass combat casualties, into blood, guts and gore to their elbows, on a routine basis. The morgue on USS Peleliu had a handmade label: Marine R&R Area.
