In addition to two supply type ships, the USNS Fall River is docked in Subic Bay.  It caught my eye right away due to the unusual shape, so I snapped a pic and looked it up when I got home.  It is part of the ongoing exercises.

After I snapped a few pics with my phone and I was walking back to my car a short distance away, I heard yelling coming from the direction of the ship.  It was muffled, but sounded like my name!  I waved at some guys sitting under a canopy behind the ship and a few moments later realized that one was a friend!  He has a van service and must have a contract with the ship(s), as his van was parked out on the dock.

He just told me on Facebook that it is a catamaran and is capable of 50 knots!  He got to go on a tour and posted some pics on FB.
