Navy's newest assault ship, built with World Trade Center steel, to be commissioned in NYC
By VERENA DOBNIK Associated Press Writer (AP) 11:43:15 AM (ET), Saturday, November 7, 2009 (NEW YORK) A military band played and sailors fired off cannons as the Navy began a ceremony to commission its newest assault ship forged with tons of steel from the World Trade Center. Hundreds of sailors and officers stood at attention on a chilly Saturday morning as the Navy put the USS New York into service at a pier in New York City. The new vessel was decked in red, white and blue bunting for the ceremony, which started with a moment of silence for those whose lives were lost on Sept. 11. 2001. The $1 billion warship was built near New Orleans by workers who survived Hurricane Katrina. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was on hand for the ceremony. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * a memorable event and dedication. *
