The city is gearing up for Fleet Week.

It’s the citywide salute to our military sea services, honoring the sailors, marines and coast guard members who serve our country. This year marks the 37th year since 1984.

The theme is “Honoring the Past, Defending the Future: 250 Years of Sea Service Excellence,” which celebrates the rich history of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.

Captain Justin Issler, commanding officer of the USS New York, spoke with NY1 Anchor Rocco Vertuccio Sunday morning on “Weekends on 1.”
