i also want to thank captain hardin again for an impressive ship we're on here today.ou are occupying the very space that, in a couple of years, will hold the ships that will raise in america's cup 34. some of the 18 ships will be located right here. for now, this is a great occupancy of this particular pier, and i look forward to this afternoon when i have time to be able to see all of the equipment located upstairs as the sun comes shining out. you know, every year, fleet week is, of course, paying tribute to our women and men that are probably serving in our navy, coast guard, and marines. it is remarkable that in recent years, this week has developed into much more than just a sights and sounds of the parade of ships and the blue angels, as i said earlier. the newly established focus on disaster preparedness is an ina valuable thing for our city. since 2004, our city has conducted approximately 100 disaster exercises with the department of emergency management. approximately 250 training exercises and workshops city- wide have been conducted with first responders a
