Media: The US was looking for a ship to send to Greenland

In February, US President Donald Trump wrote in a post on the social media Truth Social that an American hospital ship was on its way to Greenland.

According to Trump, the ship would take care of many sick people.

Trump's post included an AI-generated image of a hospital ship named USNS "Mercy" and an American flag.

The ship has 1,000 beds. Now it turns out that the US Navy was also investigating the possibility of sending another ship with space for 300 people to Nuuk.

This is reported by KNR.

The ship would be used to provide medical support to Greenland, according to a response the media has received from Military Sealift Command Norfolk.

- It was not clear whether the vessel would house medical personnel working ashore or function as a floating hospital, as the requirements document received by the Military Sealift Command was unclear: The crucial requirement was that the vessel could accommodate and feed at least 300 people, the naval authority wrote in a written response to KNR.

However, it never came to fruition as 'the need ceased'.

The US hospital ship USNS "Mercy" arrived in March at a shipyard in Portland, Oregon.

This showed data from the Automatic Identification System (AIS), which is a maritime radio system for automatically identifying ships, wrote the media outlet gCaptain.
