Navy Times reporter Phil Ewing is on board Freedom and has been writing about the experience in his Reporter's Notebook blog.
He is accompanied by photographer Rob Curtis.
The following comments are excerpts from Ewing's blog:
"Nothing on a ship's maiden voyage goes exactly as planned.
After our fish-terrorizing run up Lake Michigan yesterday, and our transit through the Straits of Mackinaw, the Freedom came to a stop and launched a small boat to pick up a part it missed in Milwaukee," Ewing wrote Tuesday.
...
"Port Huronites are evidently avid ship-watchers, and apparently word had spread about the odd-looking boat coming down the river," Ewing noted.
...
The berthing space also has its own plasma TV, which we learned displays Dallas Cowboys football games," Ewing wrote Wednesday.
