From Wikipedia, the Mount Whitney is the flag ship of the US Sixth Fleet, with all encrypted communication capabilities, command and control, and Military Sealift Command Civilian mariners on board.

She was designed to command amphibious assults, redesigned to do a whole lot more and has successfully accomplished more as well. Very interesting, very lethal if need be combination of ships, and personnel, yet more than capable of performing the size of Humanitarian effort required by Russian heavy handedness.

Not all in, but certainly more like the rapid forceful flow of a fire hose stream than a mere drip, drip, drip.
