In order of appearance here, the large fleet ships include USS Marinette (LCS 25), USCGC Calhoun (WMSL-759), FGS Baden-Württemberg (F-222), FGS Frankfurt am Main (A-1412), and USS Bataan (LHD 5).
In other words, a littoral combat ship,
a German replenishment ship,
and an amphibious assault ship.
Tugboats here are (l to r) Timothy, Justine, Bruce A., and Grace McAllister.
For a video tour of the amphibious assault ship, click here.
Grace was showing off her stuff.
I put this on Instagram with the caption “pulled over,” but that made little sense since IG chopped off the NYPD vehicle; I hope this makes more sense with the caption “pulled over.”
All photos, any errors, WVD.

A Zumwalt destroyer is in Staten Island, The Zumwalt. program was canceled after three ships!
Rolls Royce combustion turbines, are more power than GE LM 2500 gas turbines
But, RR turbine blades damaged in sea trials, I don’t understand, how could this happen..
Engine Qualification testing?

Hi ws- That is not a Zumwalt destroyer in Staten Island, It’s the national security cutter Calhoun. Interestingly, it NOT named after the former vice president; rather it’s named for MCPO C. L. Calhoun. Raised to that position in 1946, he was the first person to hold that office. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_L._Calhoun

I can think of 3 ways to damage turbine blades:
Foreign object
Piece of the turbine itself comes loose and gets sucked through the air straem
Turbine is shut down without a cool down run and quickly restarted. The outer casing of the turbine cools faster than the blades and there is contact between the blade tips and the case.

I stand corrected, the gray ship in Stapleton, across from USCG Calhoun is LCS 25 USS Marinette..
There are only Three Zumwalt class ships..
Sorry for any misunderstanding
