Hospitalizations aboard aircraft carriers were examined to ascertain differences in illness type attributable to theater of operations and combat deployment status. Percentage distributions and lengths-of-stay statistics of major diagnostic categories are provided and compared between Vietnam combat support and peacetime modes of operations and between Western Pacific and Mediterranean theaters of operations. Respiratory disease proportions were found to be significantly higher for Vietnam combat support deployments than during subsequent peacetime deployments. For peacetime deployments, the Western Pacific deployments had higher percentages of infective, respiratory, and skin disorders, whereas the Mediterranean theater had a larger proportion of total admissions accounted for by accidents.
对航母上的住院情况进行了检查，以确定因作战区域和战斗部署状态导致的疾病类型差异。提供了主要诊断类别的百分比分布和住院时间统计数据，并在越南战斗支援与和平时期作战模式之间以及西太平洋和地中海作战区域之间进行了比较。结果发现，越南战斗支援部署期间的呼吸道疾病比例显著高于随后的和平时期部署。在和平时期部署中，西太平洋部署的感染性、呼吸道和皮肤疾病百分比更高，而地中海战区事故导致的总入院人数占比更大。
