USS New York
It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center.
It is the fifth in a new class of warship – designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.
Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite, LA to cast the ship’s bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003, ‘those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence,’ recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. ‘It was a spiritual moment for everybody there..’
Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the ‘hair on my neck stood up.’ ‘It had a big meaning to it for all of us,’ he said. ‘They knocked us down. They can’t keep us down We’re going to be back.’
The ship’s motto? ‘Never Forget’
Great ship. How it can defend America.
A giant warship designed to get terrorists?? Funny stuff.
If people in the Middle East and Vietnam had to make something out of the million bombs dropped or sold to puppet countries by the USA the last 60 years , i guess it is not just a ship they could make , but a whole Oceanic Fleet lol
Good luck for this ship though , i hope for him he will kill a lot of those terrorists floating on the sea 😀
Please use your brains, guys. The ship carries “700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.”
Maybe it will catch the real terrorists: GW Bush, Dick Cheney, Olmert, and Nelson Rockefeller.

Nelson died almost three decades ago. Read the news much?
You are real simple

Nelson helped form the current bank fraud called the Federal Reserve.
Go back to eating your hay, sheep.
The Federal Reserve is now owned (over 51%) by the Rothschilds (real crooks). Look it up on the internet….
Scary stuff.
The U.S. Navy (and don’t forget their subs!) is out here to protect our life, liberty and pursue people who threaten it.
