Heard the ship was in for maintenance prior, typically the Navy will conduct tests and check systems along the VA-NC coast outside of the maritime traffic routes in/out of Chesapeake Bay. Since they do not sail often, give crews practical training. That would help explain the 3 day transit time also.

(opinion so if anons have details, glad fo a correction)
