Interesting info John, thanks.


had to look that one up, with the FPB-number label and appearence
almost appears as its a surplus navy ship, but its a whole new design

I like it..



I had the exact same thought when she came through. And having seen
the USN YPs last June, the lack of weapons didn't seem to matter.

Can't remember seeing one but I know from Marine Traffic that foreign
naval vessels sometimes pass through the canal when visiting the US.
