When the Navy's newest ship, the USS New York, is christened this weekend, it will serve as a memorial of Sept. 11, 2001 in more then just name. The leading edge of its bow is made from steel girders salvaged from the ruins of the World Trade Center.
The USS New York is the fifth ship of the Navy's new San Antonio class of amphibious ships that will be able to carry a landing force of 800 marines, aircraft and landing equipment. The ship will carry a crew of 360 sailors http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=4365449&page=1 SSGMike.Ivy Vietnam Veteran U.S.Army Retired "steadfast & loyal" "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
