After a year's absence, Fleet Week makes its return to NYC

NEW YORK (WABC) -- After a year's absence, Fleet Week is back and underway in New York City.

The celebration will be scaled down a bit compared to past years, but there is joyous times ahead as Navy sailors and Coast Guardsmen flood the city.

Three Navy ships and two Coast Guard cutters are scheduled to arrive in New York Harbor on Wednesday morning to kick off the festivities.

The usually annual celebration of America's sea services wasn't held in 2013 because of the government shutdown and federal budget sequester that hampered spending.
