Well, given enuff warning which in todays age is almost common. Out to sea and get the hell outta the way. My friend on the Uss Truman sailed north when a hurricanne came thru in 2003 i think it was. Up to maine. Most ships try to leave the area within three to four days of it nearing the coast.

As far as, shore based. Nas Oceana here. We rode it out. was not that bad of a storm. Hurricane wise. The next day was clean up time. I found it funny as hell. We were out sweeping WET Leaves off the concrete with push brooms...that works like a lead balloon. And of course moving sandbags etc etc.

if it is bad enough the base personnel will get moved inshore. As for the planes they head away. All our jets went to Kansas and Oklahoma. USAF bases to ride it out.
