USS New York "Never Forget"

USS NEW YORK


The U.S.S. New York
Recycled steel from the World Trade Center will be used to build part of a new U.S. warship, according to defense contractor Northrop Grumman.

The brand new assault craft with a capability of carrying around 800 marines and equipment is to be named the U.S.S. New York, in tribute to the almost 2,800 people who died in the attacks of September 11 2001.

The steel is set to be shipped to Northrop's shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi, for construction to begin in the middle of next year. The 684-foot ship should be ready for service in 2007. The ship will have the motto "Never Forget".

This is awesome!

I hope that we will lay waste to Iran, and when we do, I hope that this lady gets to strike the first blow!

I hope some more of that WTC was used for JDAM guided bombs, and is being delivered to the terrorists
