When a pensioned officer, seaman, or marine enters a naval hospital, his pension gets redirected while he's there. It's deducted from his account. That money goes to the Secretary of the Navy for the hospital's fund.

This section applies to any officer, seaman, or marine who is entitled to a pension and who gets admitted to a naval hospital. While that person stays in the hospital, his pension is deducted from his account instead of being paid to him directly. That deducted money goes to the Secretary of the Navy, to benefit the fund that pays for maintaining the hospital.
