Now instead imagine we used them to establish air superiority over countries without air forces, otherwise floating them as 6000-strong nuclear sarcophagi filled with carcinogens.
The USS Mercy/Comfort were the only two ships I would have liked to be stationed on but corpsmen couldn't get orders to them so much as we could west coast hospitals that rotated staff on them. With climate change mainly hitting coastal cities it'd be neat to avoid another Hurricane Katrina where the ground hospitals are so overwhelmed that doctors have to go into mass casualty triage mode. A thousand-bed floating hospital could do a lot of good if we weren't a terrorist empire.
