          Location: Bastrop, Texas | That has to be quite a sight to behold in the Hudson River. 1000 beds....a large hospital even for a large metro area. It was supposed to be in repairs for another 3-4 weeks....they kicked it in gear and got it ready in 3-4 days. USA is pretty impressive, and still awesome. God bless these servicemen.  |

        Location: Kansas | I heard they were actually meant to be oil tankers to begin with then went on to serve another purpose. They are a sight to behold.

Hmmmm
That's right. The dingbat was laughing and trying to ridicule Trump last week by emphasizing that the ship wouldn't be ready for several weeks. They picked up the pace and 10 days later they were anchored in the Hudson. I wonder what she said about sight of that huge ship open for business. The thing is that the haters place more value on their hate than they place on their desire to get through this nightmare. |

| Only the gov. could spread 3-4 days of work over 3-4 weeks. It is a beautiful sight though. |

I watched a Last Man Standing where Eve's nerd boyfriend who was afraid of Mike came to the back door of their house looking for Eve. He had black short hair and big black glasses. When Mandy saw him she said "either your boyfriend is here or Rachel Maddow is at our back door. They did look similar. |

| Long story short. I had to have a chemical stress test. The fellow that did it was Navy trained. He said these ships are the best equipped and staffed hospitals in the world. Proud that they belong to us. |

      Location: Slipping down the slope of old age. Boo hoo. | These ships, the Comfort and the Mercy, and the sailors on board are incredible! God's blessings upon them -- and upon those who worked 24/7 to prepare the Comfort to get her on the way in a matter of days rather than weeks. By a stroke of luck several years ago, I was having breakfast at a hotel on the bay in San Diego when the USS Ronald Reagan came into harbor! There are no announcements about that ship's schedule -- everyone in the restuarant - staff included - stood in awe of the marvelous ship and the sailors on deck. So proud of our military!!! |

They're taking only those who don't have the virus. It may be a process screening or testing. Just one slip-up and you've defeated the purpose. |

That's odd. I'm sure they'll blame Trump for New York's failure to put this incredible asset to good use. Mark my word. |
