PACIFIC OCEAN (Apr. 15, 2021) Sailors assigned to the embarked Medical Treatment Facility aboard Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) conduct a firefighting ensemble buddy-check at a damage control locker during a drill Apr. 15. Mercy is underway off the coast of Southern California completing Dynamic Interface testing, where the ship’s aviation facilities will be evaluated for compatibility with the V-22 Osprey and MH-60 Seahawk, and establish launch and recovery windows in adverse weather conditions. Mercy recently returned to its homeport in San Diego from a regular overhaul in Portland, Ore., where improvements were made to its flight deck to support multiple aircraft platforms. Mercy must be in a five-day-activation status in order to support missions over the horizon, and be ready, reliable and resilient to support mission commanders.
