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

Famous quotes containing the word hope:
“With the breakdown of the traditional institutions which convey values, more of the burdens and responsibility for transmitting values fall upon parental shoulders, and it is getting harder all the time both to embody the virtues we hope to teach our children and to find for ourselves the ideals and values that will give our own lives purpose and direction.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
