Hospital Ship
From APCSS | anonymous | 22 Mar 2022

“In Support of Hospital Ships:  A Need for Reform, not Rejection" is a new paper for Security Nexus by Sebastian Kevany, Michael S. Baker, Deon Canyon, Al Shimkus, Wade Turvold, Mark Middleton, and Amy Russell.

According to the paper, “despite past successes, the hospital ship program has come under fire – metaphorically speaking – for being expensive, ineffective, and occasionally, critics say, even unhelpful or counterproductive. “ Despite critics calling for an end to hospital ships, the authors recommend reforms for the U.S. Navy’s hospital ship program.

They recommend that multiple, smaller, faster, and accessible hospital ships be developed for 21st Century strategic aims.  They call for the new hospital ship designs and paradigms to be developed and continuously forward-deployed with, or in proximity to, the battlegroups they support in order to provide for both the primary and secondary missions.
