- Summary:
- By using open-source data, this report seeks to provide an updated overview of the PRC's hospital ship ecosystem, which has developed to at least 17 vessels over the past 15 years. It seeks to provide a current baseline of information to allow researchers and planners alike to gain deeper insights into the extent of the PRC's expanding hospital ship ecosystem and what the implications of this may be during this era of strategic competition. This report is divided into five sections. First, it defines hospital ships, differentiating them from other classes of warships. Section two introduces the 17 PRC vessels identified in this study, while section three examines trends in how the PRC uses these ships as well as the potential wartime concerns with some of the PRC's hospital ships. The report concludes with a summary of the main findings. An appendix outlining details of each vessel discussed in the study, as well as the methods and data used, make up the final section of this report.
