The hospital ship is a mixed blessing for the operational commander. Undeniably, the ship provides an exceptional theater medical asset with it's highly advanced equipment and specialized practitioners. Unfortunately, however, there are numerous constraints and limitations associated with the hospital ship and its employment in support of combat, humanitarian and disaster relief missions. The purpose of this paper is to provide the operational commander with need to knowinformation regarding the capabilities and the limitations of our nation's hospital ships, MERCY and COMFORT, so that he may use the hospital ship platform more efficiently and prevent it from becoming a liability and possible casualty. The hospital ships' mission(s), recent employments, and future utility are also discussed.
