2008 Fleet Week Sails into New York
Thousands of sailors have descended upon New York City for the annual Fleet Week celebration, which runs from May 21st to 28th. There will be service members from the U.S. Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard ships in town, and there ships are taking part in a parade up the Hudson River on Wednesday.
Fleet Week lets the sailors see the City, and vice versa. There will be many military demonstrations and chances for the public to view the ships. In addition to the five U.S. ships taking part, there will be three Canadian vessels, including the USS Winston S. Churchill.
