Step-by-step explanation:

In the above-given code, the "datetime" package is imported after that, two variable "today and ships" is defined.

In the "today" variable, a "datetime" is used, that uses the "date" method, that holds the current date value.

In the next step, the ships variable is defined, which uses today variable to add five days value into the current date, and print its value with the message.
