Ships and service members depart New York City

Note from New Yorkled webmaster: I remember spending hours in Battery Park (2002) awaiting the arrival of some of our great ships as they entered New York Harbor. Although they of course do not pass close enough for you to get great shots of them, it's still a spectacular experience to witness their entry into our harbor. As for photos, don't fret since of course you'll get to see them up close on the west side of Manhattan after they've docked beside our Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum. Sure the lines were long and the sun was hot, but that neither stopped me nor the thousands of others who were there to board the ships and experience first hand the effect these colossal masters of the sea have on a person. I was in awe! And you will be too! So come join us in our celebration. Saluting our Sailors, our Marines, and all those Grand Ships. Enjoy it! 'and if you so happen to come across one or two or many in your travels then it wouldn't hurt to shake their hands or say hello.

Press Release

Navy announces dates for Fleet Week New York City 2008
Thousands of Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen from the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard will participate in the 21st anniversary of Fleet Week New York, which will take place May 21 - 28.
Hosted nearly every year since 1984, Fleet Week New York is the City’s celebration of the sea services. This event also provides an opportunity for the citizens of New York City and the surrounding tri-state area to meet Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, as well as see, first-hand, the latest capabilities
of today’s maritime services. Ships participating in this year’s Fleet Week commemoration are the
amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), guided missile cruisers USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55) and USS Monterey (CG 61), and the guided missile destroyers USS The Sullivans (DDG 68) and USS Nitze (DDG 94). Kearsarge and Leyte Gulf will be berthed in Manhattan; and Monterey, The Sullivans, and
Nitze will be berthed at Staten Island.
In addition to public visitations of participating ships, May 22 – 27, there will be a number of exhibits showing off the technology of our maritime services and the skilled expertise of our service members. More information is available on the official Fleet Week New York website at www.fleetweek.navy.mil.
