I made it back to the boros, and back to the sixth boro, albeit late.  Doesn’t this look like a fleet?

This is part of a fleet, and note the white cloth on the bow fendering.  You know what that means?

Here Margaret and Miriam assume an assist-on-either-side position for that gray vessel, but that’s NYC navy gray, not something special for fleet week.

Now we’re getting the expected fleet.  USCGC Calhoun (WMSL-759) is said to be the newest and most sophisticated 416′ National Security Cutter in the USCG.

Mary Turecamo moves in on this naval vessel, as Justine McAllister heads south to meet her assignment.  Any guesses about the fleet this vessel is part of?

Quick post since I’m just now back from the water.

All photos, any errors, more info/photos to come, WVD, who’s here for the 2024 Fleet Week.

The mystery vessel is frigate Baden-Württemberg (F-222).
