On her return from the big gala Star Spangled 200 festival in
Baltimore this high tech Navy transport ship came through my town .

There are various sites that can tell you all you want to know
about # 2 but it is made of an aluminum alloy and has no paint
because paint adds weight . I thought I read she can do almost
40 mph in calm seas .

Not sure why she puts out so much exhaust smoke at this slow speed .
