SS Hope was a hospital ship operated by Project HOPE (USA).[1]
Hope was originally built as a US Navy hospital ship, USS Consolation (AH-15). Consolation was donated to Project Hope in 1958, and served from 1960 until 1974, when she was retired. Hope was not replaced, and Project HOPE emphasis switched entirely to land-based operations.
