Even with the federal government shutdown, San Francisco's popular annual Fleet Week will still go on, though in a scaled-back form.
The original headliners, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, are currently on pause but not officially canceled. Organizers say if Congress approves a budget soon, the Blue Angels and other branches of the U.S. military could still join the festivities.
