On October 11, 2003, the Gryphon continued its long tradition of cruising to Fleet Week in San Francisco Bay.

The Gryphon crew, family, and friends enjoyed the parade of Navy and Coast Guard ships and air show, including the Canadian Snow Birds and Blue Angels.

The Coast Guard requested several Sea Scout Ships to help form the "Air Box" and "Security Zone" for the Fleet Week Parade of Ships and Air Show.

The S.S.S. Gryphon and S.S.S. Chaser's positions on the security line.

 

The Gryphon's radar screen shows a sea of green, representing the some of the San Francisco city front, Alcatraz, and many, many, boats.  Notice the Gryphon's location on the line.
