U.S. Navy Vice Adm. Brendan McLane, commander of Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet, addresses attendees from a lectern after the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the National Museum of the Surface Navy aboard decommissioned Iowa-class battleship USS Iowa (BB 61) in San Pedro, California, May 23, 2026. McLane highlighted the museum's value to the community and its role in preserving and sharing the history of the U.S. Navy's surface warfare community. Los Angeles Fleet Week, now in its 10th year, is a sea service celebration that allows citizens of Greater Los Angeles to witness today’s maritime capabilities firsthand. Nearly 1,500 Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen will showcase their capabilities and equipment, participate in various community service events, and enjoy the hospitality of Los Angeles during the event.
