The annual Fleet Week celebrations are almost upon us, and I want to take the opportunity to thank the men and women of the US Armed Services and the US Navy and Coast Guard for all their hard work and dedication. The same sentiment is also extended to our Canadian allies who have a contingent of ships here as well.
Also, be warned that there will be multiple aerial displays and flybys during the course of the week, so people should be aware that there will be low flying planes during the course of the week, particularly during this coming weekend.
The full list of ships involved:
These ships will be docked at the piers adjacent to the Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum:
USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7)
USS Roosevelt (DDG 80)
USCGC Spencer (WMEC 905)
These ships are berthed at the Staten Island Homeport:
USS Vella Gulf (CG 72)
USS Thunderbolt (PC 12)
USS Tempest (PC 2)
USS Hurricane (PC 3)
HMCS Fredericton
HMCS Athabaskan
HMCS Preserver
HMCS Montreal
HMCS St. John's
USCGC Katherine Walker (WLM 552)
The list of events can be found here, and most are centered in and around the Intrepid museum.
