Not sure, but this Naval vessel looks like it has been idle for a long time:

Maybe heading for the scrapyard?

All of those LCS type ships look like that. Not the normal semi gloss USN haze grey.

Nope. They measure clearances on these things in inches (2.54 cm per inch).

Thanks for clearing that up, otherwise people may be thinking that the “Parking Wallah” just anyhow placed these things wherever he saw a clear spot.

Nice that you explained the term “inches”. To most of the world that is an ancient unit of measurement, derived from the size of the thumb of a long dead English King.
He decided to stop the confusion that existed in his realms, including the colonies.
He put his foot down and declared that as the standard foot and his thumb as the standard inch.
