The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87) departs Naval Station Norfolk ahead of Hurricane Irene. Vice Adm. Daniel Holloway, commander of U.S. 2nd Fleet, ordered all ships in the Hampton Roads area to set Sortie Condition Alpha. Ships in the area are departing early morning, Aug. 25. Irene's current track indicates it will pass off the North Carolina and Virginia coasts late Aug. 27 as a Category 3 hurricane.
