In the yearly rite that dates back to 1984, the guardians of our ports have flooded Midtown dressed in their fresh pressed sailor uniforms. 

Fleet Week brings in around 1,800 Navy, Coast Guard and Marine corps officers who provide a slosh of events, from boot camp sessions and guided ship tours to parades.

Social media was awash with #selfiewithasailor pics and other amusing moments.
