USS New York Built With Steel From World Trade Center Attack

USS New York Built With Steel From World Trade Center Attack

The  USS New York  is an incredibly significant and important ship. Why? Well, because the USS New York was built with 24,000  tons of steel recovered from the World Trade Center attack and destruction. It is the fifth ship Never Forgetin a new class of warships, ones specifically designed for missions that include special operations  against terrorists. It  will carry a crew of 360 sailors, and 700 combat readied Marines, who be deployed by helicopters and assault craft.

The sacred steel from the World Trade Center was recycled in a foundry in Amite, Los Angeles, California, and was used to build the ship’s bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept. 9th, 2003, “Those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence,”  recalled Navy captain, Kevin  Wensing, who was lucky enough to be 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 said, “The hair on my neck stood up. It had a big meaning to it for all of us. They might have knocked us down, but they can’t keep us down. We’ll be back.” The ship’s motto? ‘Never  Forget’.
