NEW YORK, NY - MARCH 30: The USNS Comfort arrives at Pier 90 on March 30, 2020 in New York City. The Comfort, a naval hospital ship, is equipped to take in patients within 24 hours but will not be treating patients with COVID-19. The ship's 1,000 beds and 12 operation rooms will help ease the pressure on New York hospitals, many of which are now overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients. (Photo by John Lamparski/Getty Images)

The USNS Comfort is currently working to help in the coronavirus pandemic. Science Channels takes us inside the largest hospital ship in this Sea Monsters exclusive clip.

If there is one thing we know right now, those on the frontline are working hard to save lives and bring the coronavirus pandemic to an end. Sea Monsters is a chance to see some of the work done and how it’s happening. In this exclusive clip thanks to our friends from the Science Channel, we get a look inside the world’s largest hospital ship, the USNS Comfort.

The season premiere couldn’t be any more timely. It wasn’t created because of COVID-19, but a chance to show off the work that the men and women onboard the ship are doing. Now it’s a chance to see where many patients are being taken, along with the cutting-edge medicine that is helping to save lives and slow the pandemic.

In the Sea Monsters exclusive clip, we get to see inside the ship. The clip gives us the dimensions, using items that you’ve seen either on the screen or in real life to get an idea of the size. It’s longer than the height of the Golden Gate Bridge, which certainly helps explain how it can hold 1,000 patients on one ship.

More importantly, we get to see the origins of the USNS Comfort. This ship wasn’t made to be a sailing hospital. It was designed as a crew carrier. However, the military knew it could be used for more.
