They're probably the old MSTS troop ships. I made six crossings on these things, Seattle-Yokohama/Yokohama-Seattle. Two weeks at sea seemed like a year.

What do you bet that these rumored ships are US Hospital ships?

Here is how it works. Some "unnamed source" (terrorist) gets wounded and captured. We treat him on a hospital ship and after he recovers he is moved to a prison. In his recounting of the episode this hospital ship becomes a "secret prison ship" where the Koran was probably flushed down the head every day and, Allah forbid!, women were present. The leftist media and the UN are all to happy to lap this up and regale us with tales of torture.
