Since 2005, the U.S. Navy has hosted Navy Weeks in cities around the country, without a significant Navy presence, to educate the American public on its capabilities and relevance to national security. It brings Sailors from all around the globe to conduct outreach and immerse themselves in these communities for a week.
For some of these Sailors, it could also be a type of homecoming.
