Pretty interesting insight I think, great post as always. Re: injured on a destroyer but not going to die. You would get casevac'd to the closest carrier if youre in a CSG or if your tacon to an ARG you would go to the closest LHD/LHA. The LHD/LHA platform has a full medical staff on it to include a dentist, LHD/LHA's can function as a floating hospital (they have done this before too, successfully)
They have X-ray rooms, a blood bank, an ICU, and I forget the exact number it is, but around expansion capability to 500ish beds. Can be a literal mobile hospital with built in missile defense. Really cool stuff

Thanks for this context, fascinating.
