Maryland Fleet Week is a biannual public event that celebrates the contributions of the U.S. Sea services and maritime capabilities of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Coast Guard. Throughout the week, participants can tour ships, experience military static displays and watch drill and musical performances that showcase the expertise, excellence and patriotism of America’s maritime services.
