The Naval Hospital in Corona, Calif.
The Navy bought the Norconian, after the start of WW II.
The first Navy patients were the sailors wounded at Pearl Harbor.

I was a patient at the Naval Hospital in Corona, CA from May 1942 till August 1942, 4 months.
Before that I was at the Mare Island Naval Hospital from Christmas day 1941 until May 1942.
I returned to the CL 50 September 1942.
