Maybe this should be posted in the "General" forum but, in my opinion is too general and I don't want this post to be buried between other related to football, George Bush, etc.

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.
