The reference was to a hospital boat that runs on HFO, had been shut
down as a non-op, and in fact only had portside insurance on it. My
statement was that the media was complaining that it took nearly a week
to get it going. Anyone that knows ships knows that you have to first,
get orders/charters/papers or whatever. Second, you need to get a crew.
Lastly, you have to start it up and run the checklist before you set
sail. A week is very fast to do all that, don't you think?

Please don't say you disagree with that.



You should think twice before saying "read what I wrote," it generally
makes you look like even more of an idiot. You said that the ship was
in Boston, but there are no Navy facilities in Boston, other than the
SS Constitution museum area. It is possible that one of the hospital
ships was in for a visit, but I certainly would have noticed if there
was a navy ship of any type "shut down as a non-op" in Boston.

Perhaps this is the story you're thinking of:
