Summary
| Description |
English: A U.S. Army nurse surveys the damage aboard the U.S. Navy hospital ship USS Comfort (AH-6). Following a voyage to Subic Bay and Lingayen Gulf, Luzon, for evacuees in March 1945, the hospital ship stood by off Okinawa from 2 to 9 April, receiving wounded for evacuation to Guam. Returning to Okinawa 23 April, 6 days later she was struck by a Japanese suicide plane. The plane crashed through three decks exploding in surgery which was filled with medical personnel and patients. Casualties were 28 killed (including six nurses), and 48 wounded, with considerable damage to the ship. Comfort had been the first hospital ship with a U.S. Navy crew and a U.S. Army staff. |
