PORT EVERGLADES, FLA. (WSVN) - South Florida residents took part in a special showcase at Port Everglades this weekend.
A group of people on Saturday got the unique opportunity to tour a battleship and get up close to a U.S. Marines chopper.
The experience was part of Fleet Week Fort Lauderdale.
“[I was] just looking for something fun to do with the family and bring the kids out,” said Ian, who attended the tour. “I mean, when are you going to get a chance to get on a battleship or possibly go in a submarine?”
This year’s Fleet Week also marks a big milestone: the U.S Navy’s 250th birthday. It runs through Wednesday.
