Overview
     Designed to supplement the Tranquility Class Hospital Ship, the Hope Class is designed to directly support a major military operation or to provide a periphery world with the needed facilities until the world is able to provide its own facilities. With a staff of 60 doctors trained in all areas of medicine and 180 nurses, this ship can fulfill either role superbly. The 15 operating theatres can be used in a wide variety of roles. Designed to be changed around to suit the need, each theater can function as a lab, surgical room, quarantine room, or any other way needed. The recovery ward is designed to hold 1170 patients. (While seen as somewhat cramped quarters, the ship is still able to properly care for its wards) In combat zones the least seriously wounded are kept on the ship, the more severe cases are transferred out of harms way to the orbiting medical ship. So in case of an emergency dustoff, no lives will be placed in danger. The Hope also carries two MASH vehicles that may immediately leave the dropship upon landing and go to where they are needed most. The dropship also carries four medical evacuation helicopters and eight jeeps packed away in the cargo hold for emergency operations. Each of these choppers take two hours to reassemble for use and the jeeps take only an hour each to reassemble for use.
