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 dock in a variety of major cities for one week. Once the ships dock, the crews 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 demonstrations and air shows such as those provided by the Blue Angels.
The first Fleet Week was celebrated in San Diego, California, during the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition. The years between World War I and World War II saw an increasing military build-up in both Japan and Germany, while the communist Soviet Union (USSR) was given over to the wave of Stalinist nationalism. Most United States citizens experienced little sense of urgency about foreign developments because of isolationism and concerns with the ongoing economic Great Depression. However, then-U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a former Assistant Secretary of the Navy, was intent on expanding the U.S. Navy in response to world political trends. A major aircraft company was moving to Lindbergh Field, (today more commonly known as San Diego International Airport). In this atmosphere, Fleet Week was born.

The US Navy Blue Angels flying around San Francisco during the Thursday survey/practice runs during Fleet Week San Francisco 2016. This is not the official show, it is practice runs. Taken from central San Francisco, not one of the usual/standard viewing areas.
The US Navy Blue Angels air show on Friday of San Francisco Fleet Week 2016. As seen from Fort Mason, overlooking Aquatic Park. Not 100% of the show, but a lot of it. I tried to keep the video reasonably steady, but those guys are fast, and that is hard to do with a handheld camera in a crowd. (By the way, sorry for any inane crowd noise/chatter you may hear from time to time, that's just a fact of life when recording in a crowd.)
