    200328-N-EV253-1069 NORFOLK (March 28, 2020) - Gunnery Sgt. Brianna Landers mans the rails as the hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) departs Naval Station Norfolk for New York City in support of the nation’s COVID-19 response efforts. Comfort will serve as a referral hospital for non-COVID-19 patients currently admitted to shore-based hospitals. This allows shore-based hospitals to focus their efforts on COVID-19 cases. One of the Department of Defense's missions is Defense Support of Civil Authorities. DoD is supporting the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the lead federal agency, as well as state, local and public health authorities in helping protect the health and safety of the American people.
