Republic of Korea Navy took delivery of ROKS Hansando (ATH-81) on October 22. Launched in 2018 by Hyundai Heavy Industries, ROKS Hansando is the first dedicated training ship in ROKN history. Prior to the construction of ROKS Hansando, ROKN used destroyers to support training duties.
The Navy hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH-20) will be routed to New York City to help alleviate non-COVID-19 medical needs, President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday. USNS Mercy (T-AH-19) will be tasked to support the West Coast, though the location is still being decided.
