just for the heck of it.

The New York is set to be launched soon. It is an assault ship of special construction, it's steel is steel that made up the Word Trade Towers girders. I'm a bit old now so this may sound antiquated, but you wouldn't catch me even tourring the ship for a looksee.

Once upon a time a ship that killed someone going down the ways was said to be cursed. This ship is built with metal already stained with blood before she's even been christened. IMHO that steel would've been better used to build a memorial.
