There’s a couple of new articles in Mil Med on these. I have been on the Brunswick (T-EPF-6). They have a unique movement, and in sea states over two they move a lot due to their design and weight. It would take unique training to learn to operate efficiently on these platforms. I hope that leadership strongly considers this and also takes a ride on these themselves to know first-hand how they sail.

My understanding is that they did a study where they did invasive procedures and surgical operations in rough sea states.
