Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) Sea based X band radar platform arrives in Pearl Harbor aboard Heavy lift vessel Blue Marlin in January, 2006.

Information about Blue Marlin may be found at IMO 9186338. A ship can change name and flag state through time, but the IMO number remains the same through the hull's entire lifetime. As a result, it can be useful to identify a ship by using the IMO number.
