Photo Coverage: Fleet Week at La Cage aux Folles and Movin' Out

By: Ben Strothmann May. 27, 2005

It's Fleet Week in New York City, where the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Coast Guard, along with a number of international navies, are participating in New York City's 18th annual Fleet Week. New York City Fleet Week, held nearly every year since 1984, brings thousands of Sailors and Marines from an array of U.S. Naval vessels to the "Big Apple."

What's a highlight of being in New York? Seeing Broadway shows of course, and Fleet Week-ers did just that, visiting Movin' Out and La Cage aux Folles among other shows. The casts welcomed our servicemen and women to the city in style!
