SEEN OFF WEST SEATTLE: USNS Watkins
Thanks to Chris Frankovich for the photo and ID on that Military Sealift Command ship seen passing west-facing West Seattle shores just before the rain moved back in. The USNS Watkins was Tacoma-bound; it’s a 950-foot-long cargo ship, with roll-on/roll-off capabilities, but scheduled to be taken out of its current service later this year, according to this report. Tacoma has been home for years to some similar reserve ships.
