Jerseygirl, I actually wasn't going to post this. I just thought that it could have been a rare occurance, until I saw your post. I took out the binoculars to make sure that I was seeing U.S. warships.

But yesterday afternoon (5/23), around 3:00 p.m., we spotted two warships heading from the Atlantic, up the Delaware river toward Philadelphia/New Jersey area.

Every year in Portland, OR there is a week long festival; the Rose Festival. It's a big annual event, the crowing of the rose queen, parades, etc. Every year for this festival there are quite a few military ships that come in. R & R for the sailors and pre 9/11 people could tour the ships.

Is there any event in your neck of the woods that would bring the military ships in, to participate in the festivities? Something planned for Memorial weekend? Just trying to think of a plausible explanation, otherwise, it would make me nervous!
