The Intrepid you were referring to and the one you showed are 2 entirely different ships, The one you depicted was actually an Essex Class Aircraft Carrier (CV-11) in WWII not a Hospital Ship.
Wrong Intrepid. The current USNS Comfort is also a converted tanker. Both ships are operated by the Military Sealift Command with civilian mariners. It takes a minimum of 5 days to get either of them ready to sail. They both do humanitarian missions. The Comfort just left for the Caribbean and the Mercy participates in the Pacific Partnership.
You missed the liner Aquitania during WW1, at a length of 900 ft and beds for 4011 patients, it's still the largest number ever carried on a single hospital ship.
16:20 If the USNS Mercy had 1,000 beds and 53 enlisted men and women, with only 15 additional personnel, I'd hate to have worked on that ship. With so few to care for the 1,000 patients at full capacity, that means 14 patients per staff member. A *LOT* of work for medical staff!
The us comfort shown is a recent one and was deployed to NYC when covid hit.
I deployed on the Comfort in 2010 during operation united relief. It was not decomisioned in 1948.
Boy that took a weird turn with Intrepid and Comfort.

1:47 the name on the side of the ship is "Juan de la COSA." The last word does *not* contain a 'T,' therefore, it is not the Juan de la CosTa."

Watching this because my son is going to be on the Comfort. I didn’t know anything about this Naval ship.
Global Mercy, what a beautiful name!
A couple big mistakes in this one
I write scripts and am very familiar with history. Just saying.
THE BRITANNIC
Agree, how could they have missed probably the largest most famous hospital ship ever made? (Converted to one during the War)
I think you like very much big ships, hey Sweetspot was make video where was big ships too, maybe you two can make video together? 😊
AMAZING
12:00 Really odd place to spot Concord 🤔
I don't think of scraping as sad, but a recarnation and 2nd life.
