Fleet Week San Diego
April 2008
The San Diego Traveler: 
The flagship event of San Diego’s salute to the military is the Fleet Week Sea & Air Parade. Your U.S. Navy will parade down The Big Bay to display the various types of ships and aircraft that comprise the world’s mightiest Navy.
The tentative list of participating ships includes a Guided Missile Destroyer, Guided Missile Cruiser, Frigate, Amphibious Dock Landing Ships, SEAL Support Boat, and other small craft. Don’t miss out on the Navy’s LCAC, Landing Craft Air Cushion, demonstration and an exciting mock gun battle between the tall ships, Californian and HMS Surprise.
The general public can view this truly spectacular parade and participate in the Fleet Week festivities from many spots along the waterfront. Last year’s parade was viewed by more than 100,000 spectators - this year’s promises to be even better! The best viewing will be from Shelter Island and Harbor Island.
To see the parade up close, travel aboard the Hornblower Fleet Week Brunch Cruise, where you’ll enjoy a champagne brunch and buffet, then move to the sun deck for the full show. Hornblower Spectator Cruises will also be sailing (sans brunch).
