The USS New York vessel has arrived in New York City. The $1 billion ship contains about 7.5 tons of World Trade Center steel. It was built in Louisiana. The Navy assault ship received a 21-gun salute near the site of the September 11 attack Monday morning.

After the gound zero stop, the ship will sail up the Hudson River to the George Washington Bridge. It will then turn around and head south to Manhattan's Pier 88. The official commissioning ceremony will be held on Saturday.

It is an amazing looking ship.

They had to recycle the steel somehow so why not use it to construct the
ship with it? Bin Laden and his mob destroyed the World Trade Centre, the
steel should be used in such a way like making a ship from it to destroy
Bin Laden and El Qaida or is it CAIDA the name of the ceramic company that
is owned by China that make ceramic tales. Do the profits from the tile company go to Bin Laden? 4/11/2009.
