USS Freedom : The coolest thing you'll see today

USS Freedom just passed us going down the St-Lawrence river. Doing 39 kts to our 13... I still managed to get some pictures. I'll post them in a minute; they're downloading right now.

That thing is awesome. Seriously, just watching it go by, everybody got excited... She was doing 48 kts on Lake Erie the other day; the pilots say they saw her at 50+ on Lac St-Pierre earlier.

The wake on that thing is enough to rock the boat I'm on. We're displacing 35 thousand tons or so right now. Container ships don't usually rock us.
