The Navy announced Monday the cancellation of in-person events associated with annual Navy-sponsored event that is scheduled May 26-31. Instead the Navy will host events on social media, officials said. Videos posted on social media as part of Virtual Fleet Week New York 2020 were viewed by more than 170,000 people, allowing the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps to show off their capabilities. That’s 66,000 more than the 103,000 who took tours of ships moored throughout the city or saw aircraft displays at various parks and schools in 2019.
