A naval parade is a ceremonial event where military ships and vessels are showcased, often to celebrate a national holiday or commemorate a significant historical event. These parades typically feature a procession of ships sailing in formation, demonstrating naval power and unity. During a naval parade, various types of vessels, including destroyers, submarines, and aircraft carriers, may participate. Spectators often gather along coastlines or designated viewing areas to watch the impressive display of maritime strength and coordination, which can also include aerial displays by naval aviation units.
