There are three grey patrol boats moving South in the Chesapeake Bay 
right now (Chesapeake Beach).  At first glance, I put them off as YPs 
out of the Naval Academy, but when I grabbed a binoculars I was 
surprised in that they weren't YPs.  All three have twin stacks in 
the back (side by side) and they look very modern.  They also have 
their numbers painted right in the middle in big numerals.  700, 701, 
710.  Can't make out any armaments...hang on...

Maple Leaf?

Canadian Patrol Boats.  I see the Maple Leaf flag atop of one of them.

Bingo--Kingston Class

God I love the Internet.

Anyway, I took a low quality digital with a snapshot camera (few 
details) if anyone is interested.
