As Fleet Week's Parade of Ships entered the Bay, KTVU was invited along to enter with the crew and families of one of its own; the 418-foot-long Coast Guard Cutter Waesche, home ported at Alameda's Co
ast Guard Island.Friday's Fleet Week Parade of Ships included three Navy combat ships and three Coast Guard vessels that sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge into the Bay as thousands watched from the shoreline.
Long before there was a bridge, there was a Golden Gate. The first naval ship entered the Bay in 1775. For the next 247 years, naval vessels and Coast Guard ships would go in and out of this Bay to protect, to deter and to even fight war. Its many missions include search and rescue port, waterway, and coastal security, counterterrorism, environmental protection, disaster relief, fisheries protection, law enforcement and drug interdiction. With its highly computerized weaponry and support systems, it can also operate as part of the Navy's fleets in a major war.
"My future is right now. So, if I have sure my presence is an ongoing progress, constant progress, I'm making sure my future is well," said crew member fireman Jose Rodriguez.
