You’re gonna’ need a bigger band-aid

The Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) glides past a Sea-Based X-Band Radar during a port visit to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, May 2, 2006. Mercy is making its first stop on a five-month humanitarian mission to the Western Pacific and Southeast Asia. DoD photo by Photographer’s Mate 2nd Class Dennis C. Cantrell, U.S. Navy. (Released)
Recall that the X-Band Radar platform encountered difficulties four days out from Pearl and had to return for repairs. Maybe Mercy can lend an ace bandage or something.
