Support operations for Fleet Week began arriving Sunday, less than three days after the death of Dianne Feinstein who brought the festivities as we know them to the city by the bay.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Support operations for San Francisco's Fleet Week began arriving on Sunday. The weeklong celebration of the military's seafaring services is a popular draw for the city but this year's event will be bittersweet. Dianne Feinstein, who began it all in 1981, will no longer be part of the festivities.
"The Navy is building its fleet," she told a KPIX reporter. "San Francisco is a large ship repair center and we would like to have more business from the Navy, if that's possible.""It was noon when a squadron from the Third Fleet made its entrance into San Francisco Bay..." said the reporter a video report.
While Feinstein may have cracked the whip on low-level flying, the event's current executive director, Lewis Loeven, said it became a labor of love for her. "That's why San Francisco has become a legendary port visit," he said. "Those sailors and marines go home and they talk about what a great time they had when they were here and all their friends who weren't on that trip, they want to do it next year."
