THANK YOU HOUSTON FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE FLEET WEEK! ⚓️🇺🇸

More than 1,000 Sailors and Marines engaged with the Houston area community during Fleet Week Houston, Texas’ first-ever Fleet Week, held April 2026 as part of the Navy’s Freedom 250 commemoration.

“Fleet Week is a long-standing tradition of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, where major U.S. cities host service members for a series of community events designed to strengthen relationships, showcase our unique warfighting capabilities, and highlight the professionalism and readiness of the sea services,” said Rear Adm.
