USS Recruit at the Naval Training Center boot camp San Diego taught many sailors how to climb ladders and handle lines among other things. Considered the fastest ship in the Navy since she was built fast in the ground. Now the most visible reminder of the former training center cum fancy development.

Well you almost nailed the brown. I wont make this long as it looks like I will just be repeating most of what your other comments state.
You met the challenge for sure, but the technical issues really over power that. The blurry issue is just a really strong problem. Odds are this was handheld with a long shutter speed (long for hand held) and that ends up being all I think about when looking at the shot.
I do think you have a cool "model" here though. A wide angle lens (or standing further back) to allow the whole boat to be in the shot, and shooting on a tripod to allow a sharper shot would have served you much better here.
The composition is OK for this - looks to be a display in a town center somewhere? Also looks to have been handheld at low shutter creating some motion blur which takes away from the impact. I don't always carry a tripod either, but what you can do is find an immovable object - a bench or a pillar or something - and use the self-timer function to take the shot.
