FOCUS: Ahoy! It’s Navy Week in Charleston

Staff reports | America’s Navy sets sail for Charleston starting today Saturday with a bevy of Navy Week activities through Saturday.

As part of Charleston Navy Week are two free performances by the U.S. Fleet Forces Band at the College of Charleston…

Navy Week is an opportunity for Charleston to embrace the rich naval heritage of the Lowcountry, which has long had a significant Navy presence, particularly prior to the closure of the Charleston Naval Base and Charleston Naval Shipyard in the mid-1990s. One of the local hosts for Navy Week is Navy Rear Adm. Daniel Fillion, who earned a bachelor’s degree in business in 1984 at the College of Charleston.
