I went to watch the ships come into harbor yesterday at the beginning of Fleet Week. There were about a dozen ships from the US Navy, Canadian Navy, and the Coast Guard, along with lots of little harbor police boats. I also went looking for the aircraft carrier that usually shows up; I recall last year it docked out in the main harbor, but this time they took the ship in a low tide and docked by the Intrepid before the rest arrived.
