NYC Fleet Week 2019 welcomes five U.S. Navy ships, three U.S. Coast Guard cutters, four U.S. Naval Academy Patrol boats (YPs), one Military Sealift Command ships, and two Royal Canadian Navy vessels.

The Parade of Ships officially kicks off 2018 Fleet Week New York, on Wed., May 22. The ships can be seen along the Hudson River from Battery Park to just south of the George Washington Bridge. This year’s visiting ships include the USS New York.
