"Fleet Week USS Arlington Tour"

Avoid the public "Fleet Week" tour lines and join other Hopkins alumni and friends for a rare opportunity to tour this active duty Navy amphibious transport dock while in port in New York. See first-hand and learn about its history, crew and capabilities. The morning will begin with two staggered tour groups. Once the tours are complete participants can gather for a Dutch Treat lunch/brunch or continue to enjoy New York City during Memorial Day Weekend on their own.

The USS Arlington is the eighth San Antonio class amphibious transport dock, and the third ship in the Navy named after Arlington, Virginia. This 684 foot long ship was named in commemoration of the terrorist attack on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, and steel taken from the Pentagon will be displayed on board. The USS Arlington was launched November 23, 2010 and commissioned April 6, 2013.
