NOAA Fleet Week 2025!
As we prepare to enter field season for many NOAA research projects, we are planning for the second-ever NOAA Fleet Week. Aligning with the tradition of Fleet Weeks, during which the public can experience active military ships and aircraft, NOAA is offering virtual “behind the scenes” access to the NOAA fleet April 7-11 through social media content, web stories, video features and more. Join us that week to learn more about the platforms and people behind NOAA’s science, service, and stewardship mission.
Check back here for stories and follow us on our social media channels using #NOAAFleetWeek.
Letter from Leadership for NOAA Fleet Week 2025
On behalf of NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations, we welcome you to the second annual NOAA Fleet Week.
Fleet Weeks are a longstanding tradition in the United States that offer opportunities to engage with the ships, aircraft, personnel and other assets that support our nation. All while learning about their invaluable contributions to national safety, security and prosperity. We are proud to pay homage to this custom by showcasing the NOAA vessels, aircraft, uncrewed systems and dedicated workforce that make NOAA science, service and stewardship possible.
Advancing the efficient, effective and safe acquisition of NOAA’s mission critical data is at the core of what we do. Data gathered from our platforms is used to produce weather forecasts, update nautical charts for maritime navigation, maintain America’s productive and healthy fisheries, respond to natural disasters and much more. Our skilled workforce–including civilian and commissioned personnel–work around the clock to make sure these services can be provided.
Since our last NOAA Fleet Week, our platforms and people have engaged in important work. We invite you to learn more about that work and the future of our fleet through a series of engaging web stories, videos, social media content and in-person events throughout the week of April 7-11.
Thank you for tuning in and for supporting #NOAAFleetWeek.
Sincerely,
Rear Admiral Chad Cary
Director, NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps and
Office of Marine and Aviation Operations
