2. What Navy medical facility is located near the third largest Navy homeport in the continental U.S.?

Answer: Naval Hospital Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville hosts both Naval Station Mayport and Naval Air Station Jacksonville. Cecil Field Naval Air Station has been closed for several years. Jacksonville is arguably the most desirable Navy retirement destination.

3. The headquarters for the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) is located in Bethesda, MD.

The Great Lakes' and San Diego's RTC and HM "A" school are closed. Many sailors have stood cold, winter watches at this base in North Chicago.

5. Which of the following is NOT a current or former U.S. Navy hospital ship?

Answer: Nightingale

Comfort and Mercy are still in service. Comfort is based on the East Coast, and Mercy is based on the West Coast. Both ships are frequent participants in various humanitarian missions.

9. Which of the following is the location of one of the Navy's Field Medical Service Schools?

Answer: Camp LeJeune, NC

Once home to a Naval Hospital, Philadelphia no longer has a Navy Base. Gulfport is also the home of the Navy's SeaBee community.
