    I mean, barring the immense cost, a hospital ship capable of launching an entourage of aircraft for medevac or search and rescue would be invaluable to global humanitarian efforts I would think. Particularly after earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.

    Says something about us where we can justify that expense for war but not helping people.

      You’ll need something to deal with potential rubble during search and rescue, so make sure to carry some radar guided missiles on your rescue planes

      The US Navy has done this. It can be helpful to have a nuclear powered city/airport sail up and provide electricity and aid.

      Not sure it justifies having 10 super carriers and several “regular” ones scattered about, but it’s good that they’ve done it.
