The USS Wasp, USS San Jacinto, USS Mitscher, USS Gonzalez, and USS Donald Cook will participate in New York's Fleet Week.

The event will celebrate the 200-year anniversary of the war of 1812 and show off some of the Navy's cutting-edge technology.

The command master chief of the Wasp can't wait for people in New York to get a look inside the ship.

Fleet Week will kick off Wednesday with a parade of ships.
