NORFOLK (March 28, 2020) - Civil service mariner Megan Maron, navigation officer aboard the hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20), uses a gyrocompass to maneuver the ship out of Naval Station Norfolk as it departs 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.
