Both are in drydock for maintenance. Comfort is due out in April, Mercy in July. There was an incident a US Navy submariner was airlifted by a Danish Defense Seahawk helicopter, deployed from the Vædderen, a Danish military patrol ship. Maybe he's upset that we required medical assistance from them. That's funny, because the Mercy won't be available until July 2026 and the Comfort won't be available until at least April 2026. 42m Reply Top fan Bobby Coggins There was an incident a US Navy submariner was airlifted by a Danish Defense Seahawk helicopter, deployed from the Vædderen, a Danish military patrol ship.
