Navy Ship Built With World Trade Center Steel Visits New York

*salute to them* now that's why there were lot of news crews today at Intrepid Museum today when I passed by them on the way to my work.
 
So, San Antonio-class ships was named after the places where the disaster took place? Except USS Mesa Verde was named after Colorado national park.
I swore I saw one of those ships was stationed at the Norfolk Navy port where my brother-in-law's Los Angeles-class submarine, USS Boise, docked at. I can see its towers but can't make out rest of ship or name because of many patrol/frigate ships hide it.
I hope I can see USS New York when it dock in Norfolk.
I heard a shipbuilder was about retire from 40 years of shipbuilding but decided to put the retirement on hold to help with building honorable USS New York. Many shipbuilders regard it as one kind of experience in lifetime.
 
Can't imagine that they cost us $1 billion for just a ship, amazing!

definitely worth it. IMO it cost nothing but our sweat and blood to build a symbolic ship that will stand strong forever.
 
I just saw it. it was...... wow. Unfortunately I cannot take pix because I was at stop light. not exactly easy to do when you're on bike.
 
It also tell us 'it just began' to me because that we lost almost everything happen in Sept 11 and it nice to see honor out there.

Recycle is like equal as re-new as re-Sept 11... make sense? :)

it's the tag game we're playing in motorcycle forum. we have to put the motorcycle in front of the object as a proof and then the winner has to take a pix of another location for others to find it.
