I might be going by boat Wednesday and then do the tour of the new ship. Not too often we have a warship in town.

Does spok and captain Kirk drive that thing?

The USS Detroit is supposed to be able to do 50 knots from what I've read.  So I'd say Scotty is down in engineering making her go.

It's a jet boat 
so it can make it to the flats and little moot no problem lol

Diesel Powered too Raybo3!

No diesel Handy!  Powered by Rolls Royce gas turbines. Company I work for supplied the couplings on this too.

From the Lockheed/Martin web page for the USS Detroit:

Detroit’s two diesel engines combined produce 17,370 horsepower. Derived from railroad locomotives, these engines together produce more power than 35 semitrucks.

4 water jets implies that they have both gas and diesel.

So, gas turbines? Is that jet fuel or Natural gas?
