New York’s 35th annual Fleet Week kicked off early on May 24 with the Parade of Ships up the Hudson River featuring naval vessels from the United States and allied countries.
The American flagship was the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (Norfolk, Va.), with other American vessels including the Spearhead class fast transport USNS Newport (Norfolk, Va.), the Coast Guard’s fast-response cutter USCGC Warren Deyampert (Boston, Mass.), and the Arleigh Burke class guided-missile destroyer USS Cole (Norfolk, Va.).
