The Uss New York LPD 21

[Lee]

Here SHE is the USS New York,
made from the World Trade Center!

USS New York. . .It was built with 24 tons of
scrap steel from the World Trade Center.

It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed
for missions that include special operations against terrorists.
It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready
Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters,
and assault craft.

Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a
foundry in Amite, LA to cast the ship's bow section.
When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003,
"Those big rough steelworkers treated it with total
reverence."

The Ship's motto is, "Never Forget."

Thanks Lee and Chuck, this is good to see!

 

[TheSchaft]

Great looking ship.

@ChuckR - The fact that Lockmart builds some of the systems for this ship makes my NY heart proud, and does make me smile - twice.

 

[QuackPot]

Am I the only one who find turning 3000 people's graves into a ship a bit sickening?

 

[Lee]

QuackPot,

Yes you are.

 

[Zen00]

It's hardly sickening, it's a tribute to their memory.

 

[Dave76]

That's a Great looking ship.

The motto says it all.

Hah,
Come to find out, LM now owns what was Sperry-Univac, my fave...

Also came across this, Quint H. being my former 'boss', and friend...
Milestones

I was trying to find a pic of the AN/UYK-7 'console', to check 'Breakpoint' switches, etc...

So, this now makes my NY heart proud, and makes me smile, thrice !

Apologies about the misspelling.

chuckr,

The Dallas was an attack sub. Never got aboard one though my oldest son was on the Los Angles (an attack sub). Did get a chance to go aboard a "Ohio" class sub, and must say I was impress with the size, and the scope of its mission.

No, you are not alone, especially considering it is a warship that has been built.

 

[Joan Archer]

That was a brilliant film Chuck you definitely don't want to be claustrophobic though if you want a career in submarines

Nothing personal against our brit friends, but in this case........your opinion matters not.

Actually, yes it does. More Brits died in 9/11 than in 7/7. And since we were dragged into two wars because of 9/11, out opinions do matter.

Not starting a flamewar, just saying.

Actually, it doesnt, the attack was on American soil, no one "dragged" you into anything , and no, your opinion does not matter, you have no standing in this AT ALL.

Just saying.
