“This event will be a memorable part of the ‘Summer of New York City’ as we emerge from the pandemic,” Rock said. “We’re excited to show New York exactly how the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard provide the United States an advantage at sea around the world.”
The virtual environment also allows Fleet Week New York to go international for the first time by highlighting New Yorkers serving in Japan, which hosts the largest U.S. naval installation outside the United States. New York and Tokyo have been sister cities since 1960 and this year the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is hosting its inaugural Fleet Week Japan in conjunction with Virtual Fleet Week New York to showcase the special relationship the allies have.
Other Virtual Fleet Week New York videos include a tour of the ballistic-missile submarine USS Maine (SSBN 741), a live martial arts demonstration by Marines and an interview with the first African American woman to serve as the commanding officer of Coast Guard Sector New York, Capt. Zeita Merchant. There will also be musical performances by Navy Band Northeast and country music artists Phil Vassar, Stephanie Quayle and Jo Smith, who is a Navy Reservist.
Virtual Fleet Week New York content will appear on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Twitch. This year’s event is also expanding to include an Instagram Stories takeover by Sailors from New York and the introduction of short-form videos on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
Navy veteran and YouTube influencer Gabriel Brown, known as Black Gryph0n, is also releasing a series of Navy-related videos for Virtual Fleet Week New York.
