OPERATIONAL STATUS: USNS COMFORT (T-AH 20) operates in 2 distinct statuses. Normally she is in reduced operating status (ROS). In ROS she is at layberth and maintained by a small nucleus crew of civilian mariners. The cadre crew of forty medical and non medical Navy members under command of an OIC maintains readiness of the MTF. COMFORT can transition to full operating status (FOS) in 5 days. The Military Sealift Command crew increases to 62 while the MTF staff goes to 1,162. Augmenting Navy personnel are provided by the Naval Medical Command from its National Capital Region activities in the Balti- more-Washington area and from Navy medical facilities in the Middle Atlantic region along the east coast as well as from other Navy medical facilities. INSIDE THE SHIP The COMFORT is steam turbine powered — producing 24 thousand shaft horsepower to a single screw designed to minimize vibration. Three diesel generators produce up to 6,000 kilowatts of power while a single emergency generator is able to provide 1,500 kilowatts. The ship is maintained at an equitable temperature by 3 — 400 ton air conditioning units. The 1,000 bed MTF includes 50 trauma stations in a casualty receiving area; twelve operating rooms; a 20 bed recovery room; 80 ICU beds; and 16 intermediate, light, and limited care wards. Sophisticated radiology, lab and pharmacy services include computerized tomography (the 1st aboard any hospital ship in the world); a blood band and intravenous additive mixtures. Support services on the COMFORT consist of one of the largest galleys afloat to feed crew and patients, a liquid 01 producing plant for 02 used in patient care areas plus supply operations to support medical and ship operations. Other services include lens fabrication capabilities, comprehensive den- tal care; burn treatment; and physical therapy. The MTF offers a broad range of medical surgical capabilities in support of its mission. USNS COMFORT MTF is one of the largest U.S. trauma facilities. It includes 9 elevators for patient movement and extensive ramping wide passageways. Patients arrive aboard by helicopter or small boat or by patient lift and are taken to a casualty reception area for assessing medical treatment. They then proceed to either surgery or another treatment area to eventually be admitted to one of the 16 wards or to an ICU. 21
