WASHINGTON –
U.S. Senator Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD) issued the following statement regarding news reports that the Navy is considering moving the USNS Comfort from Baltimore to Norfolk, VA.:
“The USNS Comfort has taken on the difficult mission of saving lives and addressing some of the most difficult medical cases – all from the Port of Baltimore,” said S
