The most distinctive-looking U.S. Navy ship here for Seafair fleet tours last week, USS Green Bay, sailed out of Elliott Bay today, according to Jamie, who shared photos – above, one of the pictures taken from the King County Water Taxi (WSB sponsor) when Jamie spotted the Green Bay (LPD 20) heading out today, and this one, from a tour during the Green Bay’s Seafair stay:

Jamie also notes, “This amphibious transport dock has a landing pad for helicopters and harrier jets and a submersible dock that is used to launch hovercraft.” You can see video of the Green Bay’s Seattle arrival in our August 4th report on the Seafair fleet parade. It’s currently homeported in San Diego.
