U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Alexander Parker, an Illinois native and satellite transmissions systems operator with 9th Communication Battalion, I Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group, hoses down the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Chafee (DDG 90) in preparation for Portland Fleet Week in Portland, Oregon, May 30, 2026. PFW, the U.S. Navy’s longest-running fleet week at 119 years, has been part of the city’s annual Rose Festival for 80 years. PFW, like fleet weeks in cities throughout the U.S., showcases maritime capabilities and connects local citizens with Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsman. Participating service members enjoy local hospitality, support various community service events, and participate in annual festivities, which this year will occur across Portland alongside celebrations of the nation’s 250th anniversary.
