This year marks the 30th Anniversary of San Francisco Fleet Week and from October 5 to 11, San Francisco will open its arms and piers to what promises to be the most extensive Fleet Week ever. With more ships, more sailors, more Marines, more Coasties, more free family friendly events than ever and continuing the focus on emergency preparedness, this year’s event also commemorates the 100th anniversary of the birth of naval aviation: an event which started here in San Francisco Bay with the first-ever launch of a plane from the deck of a ship – the USS Pennsylvania in 1911.
