There is a great tradition of our Navy’s ships docking in U.S. ports so sailors can take shore leave, which over the years has turned into a homecoming celebration that takes over the whole city with events, parades, parties and concerts.
This post will grow and change over time, so be sure to check back frequently. We’ll explore the history and traditions of Fleet Week, and also look at how each port city welcomes the ships and Sailors and the celebrations and events they hold.
