If you live in NYC, the #FleetWeekNYC parade of ships is starting up the harbor toward the Statue of Liberty now. FDNY’s 343 doing a water cannon salute to welcome them. Weather is not good with rain and fog so expect slow going. - ThreadSky

And sailors!

First ever FW was NYC 2009 on HMCS PRESERVER. I still can't believe that I spent the day walking from the Battery Park/SI Ferry to Times Sq and back in my whites and didn't stain them!

Wow , I didn’t know that the ship was built partially with recovered steel from the collapsed WTC buildings.

What the taxpayers pay annually for fleet week could build high speed rail to every city over 10K people 100x over every year.

Extremely chilly! But should be fun once it starts!

The shenanigans in Congress and the WH has kinda soured the thrill of Fleet Week. Just knowing DJT could turn them all on US citizens on a whim for what he will see as proof of ultimate power & photo ops brings unease.
