Here is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on its way into port so her crew can laissez les bon temps rouler.
The cool thing about these is they can carry two of these super neat things:
It's cool that ship design for something as huge as these allows for a certain amount of stealthiness.

Good question. They are capable of 70 knots (80 mph). Maybe it's a safety thing?

Personalization on the part of the crews that maintain the LCAC. That particular LCAC is number 55 (per the number on the bow) so putting a "Speed limit 55" sign on the exhaust ducts is a play on that.
Probably the fact that these boats travel in the vicinity of 55MPH (usually closer to 46) played some role there.

I would have thought since the boat # was 55, that it was something the crew did for gits and shiggles.

That's the maximum speed when unloaded but I suspect they almost never go that fast. I'm guessing 55MPH is pretty fast for those things during normal operations.

LOL! I actually tried to set this one to post later just for that reason but it didn't take. There's so much activity out there that I find myself constantly grabbing my binoculars and phone so I can catch them at the sweet spot. These iPhone photos aren't doing them justice, though. I need to use my son's Canon.

Or steal your son's Canon.
Sorry...must have gotten mixed up in the move. I bet we will find it eventually...
