'''Fleet Week''' is a [[United States Navy]], [[United States Marine Corps]], and [[United States Coast Guard]] tradition in which active military ships recently deployed in overseas operations [[:wiktionary:dock#Verb|dock]] in a variety of major cities for one week. Once the ships dock, the [[crew]]s can enter the city and visit its tourist attractions. At certain hours, the public can take a guided tour of the ships. Often, Fleet Week is accompanied by military [[wikt:demonstration#Noun|demonstrations]] and [[air show]]s such as those provided by the [[Blue Angels]].
