A parade of ships passed under the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and into the harbor and as they pass through, the base will be giving them a warm welcome by way of their annual salute.
The event kicked off at 8:30 a.m. with the Veteran Corps of Artillery of New York firing off blank rounds from their cannons as the ships entered the narrows.
