Fleet Week Ships Come In

Yesterday's Parade of Ships help begin the 22nd annual Fleet Week celebrations. Today's events include viewing of ships at Pier 45 in Manhattan and the Stapleton Pier in Staten Island, USMC/Air Ground airborne insertion/extraction of helicopters with combat Marines in Coney Island and Marine Day—with martial arts demonstrations and military working dogs (!)—in Central Park. Plus, at the Intrepid, it's the reopening of the Growler! More details here.

And the Daily News has a gallery of Parade of Ships festivities.

You sunk my battleship. hehehehe.

They have some military helicopters including two of the new V22 Osprey "tilt rotor" aircraft parked over at Teterboro Airport...

I heard they flew up the Hudson yesterday. Amazingly, no one defecated in their pants in response.

I like the boat that has all the water squirting out of it.
