USS Comfort. [Hospital ships. Transport of sick and wounded.] Comfort (AH-6).

5/1945; Number 80-G-180765

 

“This Day in Navy Medicine History” is a periodic feature highlighting acts of heroism, important innovations and notable milestones in the history of our Medical Department. Today's highlight: 5 May 1944. USS Comfort (AH-6) is commissioned. The Comfort was one of three Navy hospitals ships manned by Army medical personnel (Hope and Mercy). On April 23, 1945, she was hit by a Kamikaze plane. The attack killed 28 crewmembers and patients onboard. The tragedy was later “reinterpreted” in an episode of the TV show JAG. The Comfort was decommissioned in 1946.
