The sick bay of RFA Cardigan Bay was the medical hub of a major multinational 2-day mass casualty exercise in the Gulf recently.

An explosion rips through the hull of a merchant vessel, critically wounding 6 members of the crew. Two are in danger of losing limbs, another can’t breathe, and a fourth has deep burns across his chest.
