Does fleet week sound familiar to you? Well, for those who have no idea what fleet week is, let me tell you something about it. Fleet week (May 26-June 2) is the time when big ships and lots of sailors in uniform visit Manhattan, and it only happens on the heart of America – New York
City.
This is one of those times in a person’s life where you could thank them for all the great things that they did as an individual and for what they have contributed to keep this country peaceful. In every occasion, there are events, and when I mean events, it would be all week long. There would be ship tours, military demos, and a special Memorial Day ceremony. There’s even a free screening of Top Gun on the flight deck of the Intrepid.
Even bars all over New York City are trying their best to give thanks to the sailors that would visit them by offering limited “Fleet Week Drink Special”.
