had forgot the name, shes a Beaut. there are 2. other being the Mercy, not as big. Navy Hospital Ships- USNS Mercy & USNS Comfort www.navy.com/about/equipment/vessels/hospital-ships.html Each ship can be fully activated and crewed within five days. COMFORT Stationed out of Norfolk, Va., Comfort handles the other side of the world from Mercy, primarily in the Caribbean and Latin America. so maybe a week out from San Juan. The U.S. Navy hospital ship that Hillary Clinton wants the Trump administration to send to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico has one of the largest trauma facilities in the United States. Hurricane Maria struck as a Category 4 storm, knocking out the power grid. Hospitals are flooded and back-up generators at many facilities have failed. The 1,000-bed USNS Comfort is equipped to handle large-scale disasters. In 2010, the ship was sent to Haiti after a large earthquake killed more than 200,000 people. In 2005, the ship docked in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

I see Lee is still kicking around out there. Seems like we have had some long living hurricanes this year.

Maria, the strongest hurricane to hit Puerto Rico in nearly a century. "They owe a lot of money to your friends on Wall Street and we're going to have to wipe that out," Trump told Rivera. "You can say goodbye to that." news.usni.org/2017/10/03/28569As of Tuesday morning, ( I said a week, was close ) when Comfort pulled into Puerto Rico, only 10 of the island’s 69 hospitals were fully reconnected to the electrical grid, Puerto Rico governor Ricardo Rossello said Tuesday morning during a press conference. The rest of the island’s medical facilities, including nearly all of Puerto Rico’s 48 kidney dialysis centers, continue to rely on diesel-fueled generators.
