It's doubtful, but also not something the Navy is willing to find out. Ships at sea will take routes that are well away from hurricanes, and if a big enough one is approaching a base, like let's say Norfolk, the Navy will send out any ship that can move under it's own power out to sea temporarily until the storm passes.
I've been underway in the Atlantic when a hurricane was crossing over and we did have to adjust our trajectory further north to avoid it.
