Here SHE is, the USS New

York, made from the

World

Trade

Center !

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’
