The new USS New York is made from steel from the twin towers of NYC. I can't wait to see it. I worked in Tower #1 at the World Trade Center.

Yes, something in the neighborhood of 24 tons of scrap steel from the WTC.

What is the status of the USS New York; being build, christened, trials, accepted by the Nav, in service?

Wow, 6 Ships named after New york

-The first New York was a gondola, built on Lake Champlain in 1776, that participated in the Battle of Valcour Island.

-The second New York was a 36-gun frigate commissioned on 1800 and burned by the British in 1814.

-The third New York was a 74-gun ship of the line, laid down in 1820 but which never left the stocks and was burned in 1861.
A screw sloop named New York was laid down in 1863 as Ontario, renamed in 1869, and sold while still on the stocks, in 1888.

-The fourth New York (CA-2) was an armored cruiser commissioned in 1893, in action in the Spanish-American War, renamed to Saratoga in 1911, renamed Rochester in 1917, decommissioned in 1933, and scuttled in 1941.

-The fifth New York (BB-34) was a battleship commissioned in 1914, in action in both World War I and World War II, decommissioned in 1946 and sunk as a target ship in 1948.

-The sixth New York (LPD-21) is an amphibious transport dock currently under construction. Some of the metal used comes from the rubble of the World Trade Center.

Just doing what I enjoy doing most. Seeing good questions, taking the time to learn more and sharing what I learned with other.
