160525-N-WE887-002 BROOKLYN (May 25, 2016) - Sailors stationed aboard the Fort McHenery (LSD 43) are welcomed to Brooklyn through a parade of hoisted American flags during a welcome to Brooklyn celebration as a part of Fleet Week New York (FWNY) 2016. FWNY, now in its 28th year, is the city's time-honored celebration of the sea services. It is an unparalleled opportunity for the citizens of New York and the surrounding tri-state area to meet Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, as well as witness firsthand the latest capabilities of today's maritime services. The weeklong celebration has been held nearly every year since 1984. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Gina K. Danals/Released)
