The Navy pre deployed 4 ships before the hurricane hit:

The hospital ship was at Norfolk and in reduced operational status, so wasn't ready to go.

Predeployed for Irma. Then two of those ships went home after helping Florida... as maria was bearing down on PR they were sailing away in the opposite direction.
