SS Hope.
The SS Hope was a hospital ship operated by Project HOPE (USA).[1]
The Hope was originally built as a US Navy hospital ship, USS Consolation (AH-15). The Consolation was donated to Project Hope in 1958, and served from 1960 until 1974, when she was retired. The SS HOPE was not replaced, and Project HOPE emphasis switched entirely to land-based operations.
Features
One special piece of equipment was a machine called the Iron Cow. Using distilled seawater, combined with milk solids and butterfat, it was capable of turning out 2500 gallons of milk daily.
