Abstract:
The Arc Peace hospital ship (No.866) is the first hospital ship with a displacement of over ten thousand tons ever designed and constructed by China .Its mission is to undertake medical support training at sea during peace time, and also to provide medical service to fleet formations and island or reef garrison forces stationed in areas far away from land .At war time, it could assume the tasks of providing preliminary combat casualty care as well as partial tertiary professional medical care to combat forces .The Xisha sea disaster search and rescue mission on September 29 was not only a humanitarian rescue mission , but also a demonstration in the capability of the hospital ship to perform multiple missions .The author has the following gains and experience derived from actual practice of corpse handling onboard the hospital ship during perils of the sea .
