Hospital ship

A hospital ship is a ship designated for primary function as a floating medical treatment facility or hospital; most are operated by the military forces (mostly navies) of various countries, as they are intended to be used in or near war zones.

Attacking a hospital ship is a war crime, however, belligerent navies are entitled the right to board such ships for inspections.
