USNSCS Grayfox

United States Navy Sea Cadet Ship. it used to be a torpedo recovery boat but was donated to the local Sea Cadet squadron (named for Admiral Forrest Sherman) who lived in my home town post WWII. he was Naval Aviator and flew and instructed. he was in command of the USS Wasp (aircraft carrier) when it was torpedoed in 1942. he had 2 destroyers named for him, one was a class leader. he was the youngest Chief of Naval Operations until Admiral Elmo Zumwalt held the position in 1970.

the Sea Cadets couldnt maintain the boat and it was reclaimed by the USNSCs and reassigned to another Squadron south of Detroit (Michigan)

the blue derrick in the background is not part of the ship.

Really? We never called it that. Just Yerseke. Maybe it's a local thing? Or the difference between Zeeuws-Vlaanderen and de n'overkant?

Looks like a ro-ro cargo ship. Does it also take passengers?

I don't think so.
