We got a ton of sailors and ships in that area.

I was wondering if we could get our CG out of the way, at least for a week or so.

The carriers can handle a small hurricane, don’t know if anything can handle a strong hurricane.

Its the smaller ships that take a beating in a storm like this. The only real safe spot is about 300 feet down.

They better get to deep water. Storms in relatively shallow water like the Gulf of Oman can really clobber you - the waves have a shorter period leaving less time to recover from the previous wave. You can go into extemis very easily.
