I'm going to do a work for the university and I would like it to be about what the Navies do when a hurricane (or tropical storm) comes.

Do they send the ships to open sea? Do they protect the ships and subs (and planes, helos... ) in drydocks and/or hangars?
How they face the possible destructions on the Naval bases?
And, when the hurricane leaves the area, what do they do then? As far as I know, the storm are so strong that the seafloor in shallow waters may change, and I think this is very important near naval bases, doesn't it?

I will greatly apreciated comments or just links.

Thank you very much for Your time and help.

They call in all personnel to secure the base. All aircraft evacuate and all ships able to sail leave port as stated by another post. Hell of a ride on a cruiser. I rode out Hurrcanes Hugo and Andrew and left Hong Kong ahead of schedule pecause of Typhoons.
