That doesn't look much like a hospital ship looks more like a cargo carrier.

Now this one does:


010912-N-4868G-001 Baltimore, Md. (Sept. 12, 2001) -- The hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) leaves Baltimore harbor in route to Earle, N.J., where it will embark Navy medical personnel before setting sail for the coast of New York. The Comfort has a crew of more than 750 Navy and civilian medical and support personnel. She also contains 12 fully-equipped operating rooms, a 1,000-bed hospital facility, radiological services, a medical laboratory, a pharmacy, an optometry lab, a CAT scan and two oxygen-producing plants. The ship also has a helicopter deck capable of landing large military helicopters, as well as side ports to take on patients at sea. U.S. Navy photo by Chief Photographer's Mate Philomena Gorenflo.
