    🚨 Cape Texas Update 🚨 January 6, 2025.
    The US cargo ship Cape Texas has made contact with the Port Authority of Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, requesting anchorage and supplies. This comes after days of strange movements between La Palma, Tenerife, and Gran Canaria. Experts suggest possible reasons, including waiting for orders, searching for something, or even mapping the Canary Islands’ seabed.
    I’ll be sharing a quick update video on this topic later today. Stay tuned for the latest insights! 🛳🇺🇸

    I googled Cape Texas. Is is a roll on/roll off carrier - military vehicles can drive onto it & drive off. It has been used in the past by the USA to transport military equipment to the middle east. The US purchased it from Germany. Articles suggest it may have had a malfunction that required repairs - after Jan 6 supposedly it departed the island area. Supposedly it caused quite a stir among the local Islanders, because it was circling the islands for days and no one knows why.

    I dug into this one a little more. Yes it is part of the US Ready Reserve Fleet. But it is no longer owned and operated by the US Navy. She no longer carries the USNS designation and is now owned by the US Department of Transportation as MV Cape Texas. But as noted she is available for Navy Service with 5 days notice. But since she is DOT she can and does see some use in other ways. For example due to her ability to load container sized modules she can easily be used by NOAA the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration for research cruises. However given the current state of the world I think you are more likely correct that she is probably carrying Military Materials, and is simply on station in a pre-position location just in case. Probably looking towards something getting worse in the Middle East or something in North or West Africa suddenly getting unstable. Ok MORE unstable. It could simply be doing a Reserve Training Cruise (although they would probably be moving around more). Or given where it is, it might actually be a NOAA Oceanographic mission. With a couple of University Teams taking water samples etc. But if that was the case they probably would pull into Tennerife and Pa Palma at some point and you would notice all the drunk grad students. I lean towards its simply sitting on station at a pre-position point just in case something happens in this period of political changeover in the US. Right now the US has a very weak, very confused lame duck President until Jan 21 when Trump takes office. So the Pentagon may have activated some assets and put them into "just in case" standby positions. It will probably sail for home on Jan 22.

This would be my guess, they are waiting for a birth and the US military personnel to do the work.
