Fleet Week New York, Past and Present | Episode 71

PAST PROGRAM | Virtual Programs

From the return of the victorious fleet after World War II to OpSails to ships of the contemporary Navy, we will share images and stories of some of the special visits of military vessels to our harbor and to the Brooklyn waterfront.
