Patriot Nation On The USS NEW YORK NEVER FORGET

Here SHE is, the USS NEW York , made from the WORLD TRADE CENTER!

USS NEW YORK

She is 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. She will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines o 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 Captain Kevin Wensing, who was there.

'It was a spiritual moment for everybody there.'


Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said thatwhen the WORLD 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 Motto of the USS NEW YORK: 'NEVER FORGET'.
