On February 29, 2008, the Times Union ran a story about the launching of the USS New York, the "Never Forget" ship named in honor of September 11 victims. The ship was built with 7.5 tons of steel that once held together the World Trade Center at lower Manhattan until the towers were destroyed by terrorists. The ship is a 684-foot San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship, which the Navy will also identify as LPD 21. The USS New York, an amphibious warship, will be officially commissioned in New York City in 2009.
What a fitting way to use the steel from the towers.
