Do not approach at high speed a US warship maneuvring into port. I'm sure your kids really want to see the big boat, but a small craft coming straight at us at full throttle causes a bit of excitment amongst the people with the machineguns.
If you do decide to do the above, don't stop in front of the ship for your photo opportunity. We can neither stop nor go around you. We are not sounding the ship's whistle for your amusement. It's our subtle way of saying "Holy shit! We're about to run over some jackass and his family in a speedboat!".
