The Parade of Ships is underway, kicking off the start of NYC Fleet Week 2009.
The ships will be open for public tours during Fleet Week and the Growler submarine will finally reopen at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in Manhattan. The full Fleet Week schedule also includes an Iwo Jima commemoration, a Memorial Day ceremony, sports and cooking competitions and the lighting of the Empire State Building in red, white and blue.
More pictures after the jump.
