I find it interesting because the ship is named Cape Orlando which is a ship that is part of the National Defense Reserve Fleet. The fleet consists of "mothballed" ships that can be activated within twenty to one hundred twenty days to provide shipping for the United States of America during national emergencies, either military or non military, such as commercial shipping crisis.
Just curious as to why this inactive ship that is kept reserved is now here in the harbor. It was accompanied by a US Navy helicopter.
Could it be getting ready to be "activated" again?
