While I approached her I noticed an armed patrol boat that kept tabs of my every move. I made about a 500 yard orbit around the ship as the patrol boat followed me. It's not every day I have automatic weapons aimed at my direction!
The stats:
Displacement: 11,314 tons (light)
16,386 tons (full)
Length: 610 ft (190 m)
Beam: 84 ft (26 m)
Draft: 21 ft (6.4 m)
Propulsion: 4 Colt Industries, 16-cylinder diesel engines, 2 shafts, 33,000 shp (25 MW)
Speed: 20+ knots (37+ km/h)
Meanwhile I included some shots from around the waterfront.
