Largo native Navy airman participates in Fleet Week New York

U.S. Navy Airman Keon Gulley, an aviation boatswain’s mate on the USS Wasp, recently participated in Fleet Week New York – an event that allows citizens to interact with sailors and learn more about the Navy.

The event included ship tours, dive tank demos, band performances, a ship parade and participation from NATO allies.

The USS Wasp is an amphibious assault ship that supports U.S. Marines in combat and provides disaster relief and medical support to those in need. It was one of the ships offering free tours at the New York event.

Gulley graduated from Largo High School in 2019.
