A parade of military ships, led by the USS Nitze, enter New York Harbor as part of the 2008 Fleet Week celebration in New York, New York, USA, on 21 May 2008. The annual event gathers United States' Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen in the city to honor the country's sea services.  EPA/JUSTIN LANE
 
With the focus on Iraq and Afghanistan easy to forget the US has so many naval assets all over the globe. Ships on parade always stir something I find, maybe all those Patrick O'Brien novels I have read.
