 Fleet Week New York is now in its 27th year, kicked off May 20th. This week-long celebration is an opportunity for the citizens of New York and the surrounding tri-state area to meet sailors, marines and coast guardsmen and witness the latest capabilities of today's maritime service's first hand. Following 28 years of service, the Navy's last guided missile frigate, USS Kaufman, is scheduled to be decommissioned later this year. In the final months of her life, Kaufman will be patrolling South America and the Caribbean in support of Operation Martillo. The Navy's newest Joint High Speed Vessel, USNS, Brunswick, was recently launched from the hostile USA shipyard in Mobile, Alabama. Brunswick is designed for the fast intra-theater transportation of troops, military vehicles and equipment. And finally, congratulations to those sailors who advanced this cycle.
