Ship moored off Negril

[Stoners6]

Anyone able to see what this ship is that parked off the beach around noon today. Looks like a navy ship from what I can tell.

She's a county class Damen Stan 4207 patrol vessel owned by the JDF.

Jamaica has three counties, Cornwall, Middlesex and Surry. The thee vessels are named for the three counties.

BTW she's anchored not moored.

It would take a mighty strong mooring to tie up that kind of craft.

Arrrrr she's lookin for pirates and she's found the right shore..........Pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel sticking out of his pants. Bar tender says "hey you've got a steering wheel sticking out of your pants!" Pirate says "Arrrr I know it's driven me nuts!!"

For the nerds:The Dutch shipbuilding firm The Damen Group, designs and manufactures a wide variety of vessels, including a range of related patrol vessels known generally as the Damen Stan Patrol Vessels.[1][2]

The Damen Stan patrol vessel designs' names include a four digit code, where the first two digits are the vessel's length, in metres, and the second two digits are its width.[1] Over a dozen nations have classes of vessels based on the Damen Stan 4207 patrol vessel design, which are 42 metres (138 ft) long and 7 metres (23 ft) wide. The United States Coast Guard's Sentinel class cutters, based on the Damen Stan 4708 patrol vessel design, are 47 metres (154 ft) long and 8 metres (26 ft) wide.

Looks shorter that 42 meters Cap. Hope she hasn't dropped the anchor on the coral!
