In what sense is Forth Hope a medical missionary ferry[edit]

An anonymous editor has changed my description of the Faith Hope as medical missionary ship to that of a medical missionary ferry. It is true that some of the cited sources use this description, but as sources also describe her as being fitted out with consulting rooms and an operating theatre, I assumed this was just a bit of sloppy writing based on her previous intended role rather than her current role. However it is possible that I was wrong, and she is indeed a medical missionary ferry that is used simply to convey patients to and from medical facilities elsewhere. More a floating ambulance than a floating clinic. But in that case, the description of her as having consultation rooms, operating theatres, etc, needs explanation. Can anybody help. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 10:40, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No explanation forthcoming in over two months, so I'm going to change it back to ship, which has no particular usage connotations. If you still want it to say ferry, please provide cited explanation of her exact role in ferrying patients. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 12:24, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Forth Hope was converted to a ship at Rosyth with a new bow being installed. She was then fitted out as a hospital ship and has functioned as this very well since 2017. Babcock "donated" the re build and reconfiguration to medical ship as part of marking the 100 year anniversary of Rosyth Royal Dockyard in 2015. The project was completed using new Graduates and Apprentices under the supervision of an experienced team of marine engineers and ship refitters. 79.150.36.131 (talk) 14:08, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
