Ships Announced for Los Angeles Fleet Week

2025 Visiting Ships

Time to check out some active duty Navy ships! They’ll be open to the public from 10 AM – 4 PM daily from Friday, May 23rd through Monday, May 26th. Here’s a quick list of helpful things to know when you come down to the harbor to see them:

• Go Aboard:
  • The ships will be berthed in San Pedro’s Outer Harbor and the ONLY WAY to go aboard an active duty ship will be to catch a SHUTTLE BUS via our digital queue.
  • All adults must present a valid government-issued ID (state ID card, driver’s license or passport) to take Navy ship tours. Non-US citizens must show valid passports and will be subject to a brief additional screening before boarding the vessels. Photocopies of IDs will not be accepted
  • No reservations are needed to tour the Navy ships, but t will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis
• Ship Tour Lines:
  • Lines to catch the free ship tour shuttles form at the main EXPO footprint adjacent to Battleship IOWA. Ship tour lines are inside the EXPO footprint and are open to the public at 9:00 AM daily from Friday, May 23, through Monday, May 26.
  • All guests must use the digital line queue. Please follow the instructions below:
    • Arrive into the city of San Pedro

    • Monitor your phone for instructions and updates — you will be notified when it is your time to enter the shuttle line for active duty ship tours
    • To access the shuttle line, guests must clear the entry control security checkpoint. Please allow enough time to negotiate the security screening prior to your assigned departure time. Security screening is separate from the queue to tour the active Navy vessels.
