}} | SS Hope was a hospital ship operated by Project HOPE.[1] This vessel was originally a US Navy hospital ship, {{USS|Consolation|AH-15}}. Consolation was donated to Project Hope in 1958, and under its new name served from 1960 until 1974, when she was retired. Hope was not replaced, and the emphasis of Project HOPE switched entirely to land-based operations. The project was founded by William B. Walsh.
