[美國生活] Fleet Week 2 of 4 - Ship Parade @ Ian

Fleet Week星期六早上有Ship Parade, 就是軍艦大遊行
清單上有13艘船, 會從太平洋駛進舊金山灣
太平洋進舊金山灣這個地點就是所謂的Golden Gate
因此軍艦開過金門大橋的畫面是這遊行的重點!

走在最前面的是航空母艦CARL VINSON
尼米茲級核動力航空母艦
載有60架F/A-18超級大黃蜂戰鬥機及E2C鷹眼早期預警機
航行於世界各地進行任務, 同時也是海葬賓拉登的船艦

歐布萊恩是一艘古老的貨船, 曾參加過二次大戰諾曼第登陸
那個年代的2710艘自由號蒸氣貨船就只有兩艘保留下來
她平時就停在漁人碼頭供人參觀, 甚至有自己帶睡袋上去過夜的行程 ~
Fleet Week期間除了參加遊行之外, 船上還舉辦了一些活動, 但票很早就賣光了
