Hospital ship

A hospital ship is a floating hospital installed aboard a large ocean-going ship.

USNS Mercy and USNS Comfort are hospital ships operated by the United States Navy and the largest ambulances built by humanity.

Modern hospital ships display large Red Crosses to enjoy Geneva convention protection under the laws of war.
