[PCW] military cat

[Pelchat Family]

If she looked like this:

then she was one of the Navy's Military Sealift Command's ocean surveillance 
ships that collect underwater acoustical data in support of the Navy's 
submarine and anti-submarine warfare missions.  Frankly, I thought they had 
been laid up but checking the MSC website, they have five of them in 
service.  The Navy also used to operate similar looking submarine rescue 
vessels.

Another possibility is that you saw one of the newer high speed transport 
vessels that the Navy has been leasing.  I think, although do not hold me to 
this that the Army has leased one or more as well to evaluate them for a 
transportation mission.

Did you take any pictures that you could post?

take care all . . .
