The newest ship in the Atlantic fleet was christened the USS New York, named after the city and especially two buildings that had an instrumental hand in building the ship. The WTC donated 24 tons of steel to this ship to help make it what it is today and what it represents in the future. The Ship's motto is "We will never forget" and much like the ship that is sure to have a long and amazing career, the people of the United States will never forget either. I think this is a beautiful repurposing of the steel from that terrible accident and I hope that it will serve as a living symbol to all those that suffered through the terrible moment in American History.
