To celebrate the city's 20th Fleet Week, Staten Islanders will open their arms and legs to thousands of visiting sailors, Marines and members of the Coast Guard. It starts on Wednesday with the Parade of Ships at 8:30 a.m. Seven vessels, led by the USS Wasp, an amphibious assault ship carrying aircraft, will cross under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to be welcomed into New York Harbor. During Fleet Week, the Wasp will be berthed in Manhattan, but the six other ships will all be docked at the old Navy home port in Stapleton
