    FLEET WEEK

    By shuttershtl  |  Posted May 23, 2012  |  Guttenberg, New Jersey
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Self-described military brat shuttershtl stayed glued to his Guttenberg, NJ, window yesterday for three to four hours as a parade of tall ships glided up the Hudson River to commemorate the start of Fleet Week. 'I always feel excitement and a sense of pride when these types of events take place. My dad was the in ARMY for 27 years and I retired from the Federal Government 2 years ago, so I guess it's in the blood,' he said. He created this HDR composite in Photoshop.
    - zdan, CNN iReport producer

    Several ships, including various Tall Ships sailed up the Hudson today, parading along the river for approximately 4 hours. This picture was taken from New Jersey at around 10:40am. It shows the Coast Guard welcoming the ships to New York. Modern naval war vessels from around the world followed the Tall Ships in a beautiful and powerful display as they moved slowly and quietly past our apartment complex, with their crew positioned throughout the vessels in a salute to New York. The Blue Angels also participated, leaving thick trails of smoke as they flew over the ships on this cloudy and rainy morning.
