Storm surge: San Antonio stands by for Hurricane Sandy relief

摘要

"It can be materially wonderful and good to go, but where the rubber meets the road is on deployment, which is why I think San Antonio is about halfway out of the woods now," said Cdr Koprowski. "This deployment coming up is going to be the graduation, if you will. But the ship can go and do any mission it's tasked to right now." San Antonio has been on stand-by all summer to respond to any overs'eas contingency or humanitarian assistance/disaster relief (HADR) missions required on the home front in the wake of a hurricane that might roll off the Atlantic.
