US and British vessels were heading to the Philippines as the UN appealed for aid amid the large-scale devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan.
The US has deployed an aircraft carrier and navy ships, while the UK is sending a naval destroyer.
At least 10,000 people are feared to have been killed and thousands of survivors desperately require aid - but reports say little is getting through.
Philippine President Benigno Aquino has declared a state of national calamity.

Conservation officers say a Mountie had to finish off the suffering bruin because it was too dangerous to allow the bear to roam through the Castlegar neighbourhood.
The person who used the bow and arrow was given a violation ticket for what Conservation Officer Ben Beetlestone says was a dangerous and unilateral action.
He says the bear was cornered and hit while going through garbage cans in the carport of a home in the community.
