Three ships. Three places. Each ship sits in one of them.

Ships: 39, 40, 41
Places: Starbase prep, Christmas Island, other Texas parking

Clues, from this week’s public traffic:

  1. Ship 40 was photographed off Christmas Island on 27 August, headed for Texas.
  2. The next flight article is Ship 41, still in Texas preps, not on an island. Booster 21 did the 28 August static fire.
  3. Ship 39 isn’t the island ship and isn’t the next-flight ship.

Which ship is where?
