U.S. Sea Services, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard will bring multiple ships and thousands of service members to New York from May 21-27 to participate in Fleet Week New York (FWNY).
Navy ships, Coast guard cutters and U.S. Naval Academy yard patrol boats will be in attendance. Additionally, a ship from the Canadian Navy will join the celebration.
Fleet Week New York is now in its 37th iteration. The week-long event will include a variety of public military demonstrations. It is an unparalleled opportunity for the citizens of New York and the surrounding tri-state area to meet members of the sea services, as well as witness firsthand the latest capabilities of today’s maritime services.
“This year’s Fleet Week New York is especially meaningful as we commemorate our Navy’s 250 years of maritime excellence and unwavering commitment to freedom and global security,” said Rear Adm. Carl Lahti, Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic. “Our Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen have been on the front lines of freedom, demonstrating courage, commitment, and readiness for two and a half centuries. We once again look forward to this 37-year-old tradition of connecting with the great city of New York and honoring the spirit of service that drives our nation forward.”
The event has been held nearly every year since 1984 and this year’s theme is “Honoring the Past, Defending the Future: 250 Years of Sea Service Excellence,” which celebrates the rich history of the sea services, honoring service members from the past, present, and future who play a crucial role in supporting the fleet while carrying out our Navy’s maritime strategy and strategic objectives. show less
