This week was Fleet Week in NYC, and I took the opportunity to get some practice with my camera.

I now REALLY want to see these things being built. Anyone here get a glimpse of the tools they use at naval shipyards?

Thanks! Too bad they weren't Blue Angels.

Very Cool! Any other foreign navys represented other than our Canadian Armada?

Sadly, not this year. Given my memory and a quick google, it looks like there have not been any non-North American navy participants in at least several years - at least 3-4+. I vaguely remember a Pakistani vessel being in port a few years ago.

Edit - yep, that was in 2005.
