SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion of Notice
The U.S. Navy/City of San Francisco Fleetweek Navy Parade of Ships
and the Navy Blue Angels Aerial Show is scheduled for Saturday, October
7, 1995. Regulated area ``Alpha'' will ensure unobstructed waters for
safe navigation of the Parade of Navy Ships proceeding inbound via the
Eastbound San Francisco Bay Traffic Lane. Following the ship parade,
regulated area ``Bravo'' for the aerial demonstration by the U.S. Navy
Blue Angels and other aircraft will ensure the safety of the aircraft,
vessels, and persons onboard. In preparation for this demonstration,
the Blue Angels will conduct practice flights on October 5 and 6, 1995.
An additional Blue Angels aerial demonstration is scheduled for October
8, 1995. The regulated area for the practice event and the performance
by the Blue Angels and other aircraft will restrict vessel access to
the marinas and commercial docks along the San Francisco waterfront.
The short duration and minimal size of the regulated area will minimize
any inconvenience. Persons and vessels shall not enter or remain within
the stated distances from the Naval parade vessels in regulated area
``Alpha,'' or enter or remain within regulated area ``Bravo,'' unless
authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander. Fleetweek activities
have traditionally attracted a sizable fleet of vessels, and large
vessel operators needing to transmit near Fleetweek activities are
encouraged to make such transits well before or after the regulated
area are in effect.
Dated: August 30, 1995.
D.D. Polk,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard District,
Acting.
