The Mercy class of hospital ships are converted San Clemente-class supertankers now used by the United States Navy as naval ambulances. Two of them are used by today's Navy:

• USNS Mercy (T-AH-19)
• USNS Comfort (T-AH-20)

They are both maintained by the Military Sealift Command. They do not carry any ordnance, and firing on either of them is a war crime.
