260506-N-KC192-1035 JOINT BASE LITTLE CREEK-FORT STORY, Va. (May 6, 2026) Capt. TJ Pekin, ship master of the expeditionary fast transport ship USNS Point Loma (T-EPF 15), demonstrated the capabilities of a search and rescue boat onboard the Point Loma, May 6, 2026. EPF Flight II variants, such as the Point Loma, are designed to bring enhanced medical capabilities at the request of Combatant Commanders, allowing patients to recover onboard rather than in a higher-level facility. They can respond faster and to more places than the Navy's larger unarmed hospital ships. The EPF Flight II design includes upgrades to the medical facilities for resuscitation and surgery, enhanced support of V-22 flight operations, and enhanced launch and recovery of 11-meter rigid inflatable boats.
