Weird ship selection to evacuate civilians...A destroyer and mobile base?

The Navy is moving at least two ships to the eastern coast of Sudan in case the United States needs to evacuate American citizens caught in the middle of a bloody struggle for control of the African country, the Pentagon said Monday.https://t.co/b5cyUT8xtO

We either need a few ships that are high speed troop transports OR we need modules to slam onto the mobile base to keep folks outta the weather. Either we do that or more likely, we should restart the C-17 line or buy some 747 cargo variants to increase our airlift. AFRICA IS HUGE!!!
