SAN FRANCISCO (Oct. 5, 2021) Recruiters from National Talent Acquisition Group Golden Gate escort students from Mission High School located in Fremont, California, on a tour of the Whidbey Island-class dock landing ship USS Rushmore (LSD 47) to kick off San Francisco Fleet week. Young men and women can positively contribute to the American way of life by serving and simultaneously fulfill personal and professional goals. San Francisco Fleet Week 2021 provides an excellent opportunity for Sailors and Marines of visiting ships to demonstrate the quality of naval personnel to the citizens of the Bay Area, particularly the city of San Francisco. Naval participation in one of the country�s premier festivals helps educate San Francisco-area leaders and the general public about the U.S. Navy as an effective and vital tool of national defense and a viable career opportunity for young men and women.
