Samaritan-class Hospital Ship



The Samaritan class Hospital ship is the second class of hospital ship put into use by the Union of Everett navy. The Samaritan class takes on an all new advanced design, coming off closer as a cruiseliner vessel than the previous Mercy-class ship's oil tanker design. Two ships of this class have been built, the EVNS Samaritan and EVNS Compassion. A third additional ship is being constructed for the Planetary Alliance For Freedom's Disaster Response Agency, which would become the PFS Valor. Samaritan-class vessels are powered by a fusion reactor engine and can speed up to over 60 miles per hour.

The Samaritan class features an expanded landing pad for helicopters, capable of fitting three to four helicopter craft compared to the Mercy class' one landing pad. The Samaritan is the same length as a Ford-class Aircraft Carrier, at over 1,000 feet long, with room for over 1,800 beds for patients and a full hospital functionality including operating rooms, trauma rooms, dentistry offices, veterinary clinics, pediatric wards, OB-GYN wards, intensive care and ICU recovery rooms, optical and vision offices and varying utility rooms such as radiology, medical labs, pharmacies, cat scan, MRI and oxygen producing plants.
