Sorry for the delay here are some pics my father took while attending the blessing of the fleet FDNY July of 2009 Enjoy !

Great photos, thanks. That's the last blessing of the fleet for at least one of those vessels.

The "Three Forty Three" should be arriving in NY next month. It will go into service as Marine Co. 1's vessel.

Great shots. Any idea which ship will be replace with the new vessel?

From what I heard the Mckeon Marine 1 is being replaced by the threefortythree and the Firefighter Marine 9 is being replaced by the Firefighter II . From what I heard is the hull on Marine 9's boat is not in good shape at all so I would imagine that if they keep any of the boats it would be the Mckeon maybe someone from the Marine division or FDNY can add to this or maybe Joe Pinto ?
