Introduction of the Helicopter Carrier Destroyer Izumo and Its Potential Utility as a Hospital Ship
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
The helicopter carrier destroyer Izumo weighs approximately 6,000 tons and is 248 m long, 38 m wide at maximum, 49 m tall, and has an approximate maximum speed of 55 km/h. The flight deck has five helicopter landing spots that allow for simultaneous landings or take-offs. The Izumo has an integrated network system concerning information and communication, excellent abilities concerning the manipulation of multiple helicopters, a large-scale hangar that can accommodate multiple severely injured patients, an emergency and intensive-care room to perform resuscitation, a surgical operating room to perform life-saving radical procedures, and 34 beds for patients. The helicopter carrier destroyer Izumo may therefore be useful as a hospital ship if a catastrophic disaster occurs.
