Pics of the day: USNS Mercy and Comfort

These ships are an example of why America is a great nation. The third largest class of ship in the US Navy (after the two nuclear carrier classes), the Mercy class is a massive floating hospital. They have been deployed only once for war – the Gulf war – but spend much of their time in the Pacific and Atlantic respectively offering free hospital care to hundreds of thousands and support in times of need and natural disaster, from the tsunami, to Katrina, to broad tours around the globe.
