With 21 Navy ships now docked around the city, Fleet Week is a time for citizens to celebrate the men and women in today’s active military sea services.
The week from May 23 to 30 is full of traditional as well as new commemoratory nautical activities.
The USS Iwo Jima (LDH7) sailed into New York Harbor on Wednesday to kick off the 24th annual Fleet Week celebration.
Destroyers, aircraft carriers, frigates, and other ships from both Canada and the United States rolled down the Hudson River on Wednesday. F-18 fighter jets and helicopters zoomed overhead, while school kids on the flight deck of the USS Intrepid museum pointed and gasped in awe.
