Fleet I Did Meet 2024 B

In order of appearance here, the large fleet ships include USS Marinette (LCS 25), USCGC Calhoun (WMSL-759), FGS Baden-Württemberg (F-222), FGS Frankfurt am Main (A-1412), and USS Bataan (LHD 5).   

In other words, a littoral combat ship,

a national security cutter, 

a German frigate, 

 

a German replenishment ship, 

and an amphibious assault ship.

Tugboats here are (l to r) Timothy, Justine, Bruce A., and Grace McAllister.

For a video tour of the amphibious assault ship, click here.

 

Grace was showing off her stuff.

I put this on Instagram with the caption “pulled over,” but that made little sense since IG chopped off the NYPD vehicle;  I hope this makes more sense with the caption “pulled over.”

Fleet I Did Meet 2024 A

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).
