Because ships have had such a good run of contagious diseases running rampant. The USNS are to take the pressure off the ground hospitals. Really, if you had the WuTang Flu, would you want to be aboard ship?
In a ship that big, can you still feel the rollers? I'd like that!
depends on the individual - took the wife on a tiger cruise on a carrier just in the bay and back. with her sensitivity she was green most of the day.

Yes
If I already had Kung Flu, a hospital ship would be fine. What I wouldn’t want is to be healthy and stuck aboard one with sick people.
