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.

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