Any word on the military ships that were used to lighten the load on overflowing systems back in the Spring?

AFAIK, the hospital ships weren't used much due to red tape and restrictions on who could be treated (airflow and distancing are/were not possible on board, and it was near impossible to ascertain covid negative status in these patients prior to boarding the ship).

Same thing for those "field hospitals" set up in convention centers, etc.

I thought their original intent was to handle overflow of non-covid patients. 

But then when they realized that their best laid isolation plans were failing after staff on board were getting infected,  they changed the plan to also treat covid cases (at least in NYC)
