Ballast tank in most older ships were used for bunker-fuel, and so damping ballast had a certain fragrance to it, to say the least.

Galveston is so nasty. As soon as you go to a real beach (think Florida, the Bahamas, Carolinas, etc), you'll realize just how nasty it is. Having just been to Bahamas, I have to agree with Colo on this one. Tarballs, nasty brown water, that funky smell you can't really place but you know is not go...

Bigger pods. That way you can fit a larger electro motor in there. No matter how much generating capacity you have, there's a limit to how much energy a given motor can handle. Make it bigger and capacity goes up. Rather favourably, one might add.
On the other hand, the datalinks means that one JSF can burn by the target at full speed, and then, when the target is verified, his buddy shoots it down, using targeting data from the first JSF. In essence, it allows a JSF to act as a short range mini AWACS.
According to the Chief Officer on the ship I work on, there's still some 40 Liberty ships registered as actual merchants. Pretty good for a ship that was only designed to cross the Atlantic. Once!
