An additional destroyer, the USS Mustin, will depart Yokosuka on Sunday. Eight other U.S. ships were en route to Japan from various locations, set to arrive Sunday or later in the week, according to the 7th Fleet. One, the USS Tortuga, departed Japan on Saturday night to pick up two helicopters in South Korea and would return in about two days.
Three ships composing the USS Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group also are among the eight ships, the military said.
Meanwhile, the III Marine Expeditionary Force, based on the island of Okinawa, south of Japan, said it was “prepositioning forces and supplies in support of humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations.”The force was sending staffers, a cargo aircraft and transport helicopters to the mainland, it said in a written statement. Additional aircraft and supplies will be sent in the next few days.
