Was the scrap metal from the World Trade Center really used to build a Navy warship called "the USS New York"?

Answer 1

I would never be stationed on it. If it catches on fire the ship will sink.

That is inferior steel.

So do not board the USS New York if you believe WTC collapsed by fire alone. Since there are fires on board ships.

Answer 2

Yes, 24 tons of the steel used in its construction of the USS New York came from the rubble of the World Trade Center, with seven tons melted down and cast to form part of the ship's bow

Answer 3

Yes this is true. The USS NEW YORK LPD-21, a USS SAN ANTONIO class amphibious transport dock (the 'well deck' is flooded, the stern gate is lowered and small personnel carrier boats and other craft are driven out to make amphibious landings on the beach) is being built in New Orleans, and is expected to be commissioned sometime in 2008 . It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.
Twenty-four tons of the steel used in its construction came from the rubble of the World Trade Center, with seven tons melted down and cast to form the ship's "stem bar," part of the ship's bow. The construction workers reportedly treated it with "reverence usually accorded to religious relics," touching it as they walked by. The ship's motto: NEVER FORGET.
In addition to the USS New York, the USS Arlington LPD-24 will be named because of the location of the Pentagon, which was hit by American Airlines flight 77. The USS Somerset LPD-25 will be named after the county in Pennsylvania in which United flight 93 crashed after being taken over by hijackers.
A side piece of info: One of the NY's sister ships, the USS TRENTON LPD-14 was recently decommissioned and sold to the Indian navy. I know this, because I am part of the logistics team for the transfer over. They will be here in Norfolk, VA until late next summer/early fall. I have been involved with the transfer of our decommed ships to foreign navies over the past 13 1/2 years. My two favorite countries to work with have been Turkey and Taiwan. The countries pay for the ship, all repairs, upkeep and supplies. Australia was a BLAST (they bought 2 LST's).

Answer 4

The U.S.S. New York

Recycled steel from the World Trade Center will be used to build part of a new U.S. warship, according to defense contractor Northrop Grumman.







Artist impression of the new "San Antonio" LPD class 17

The brand new assault craft with a capability of carrying around 800 marines and equipment is to be named the U.S.S. New York, in tribute to the almost 2,800 people who died in the attacks of September 11 2001.

The steel is set to be shipped to Northrop's shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi, for construction to begin in the middle of next year. The 684-foot ship should be ready for service in 2007. The ship will have the motto "Never Forget".

The recycled steel from the Twin Towers, if it meets quality standards, will be used to form the ship's "stem bar". That is part of the ship's bow, where the vessel cuts the water.

New York authorities have the awesome problem of disposing of the 1.62 million tons of rubble that went to the nearby Fresh Kills landfill from the World Trade Center site.

Some memorial sculptures made from recycled steel have been commissioned by the city, and tribute sculptures have now been erected in many civic, and private facilities throughout the country.

Guess so it says it is...

Answer 5

lengthy island is wide-spread as "the enormous apple" because beforehand a in call for human beings hero (Johnny Appleseed) planted a unmarried seed interior the midst of the city. Then, in an straightforward warp in area-time, a boy named Jack planted a seed he believed to be magical interior of an similar spot.

Answer 6

I believe the ship is not completely made of metal from the WTC, but just includes some.

There will also be a USS Arlington and a USS Sommerset, after the Pentagon and the town in Penn, where the other planes crashed.

Answer 7

True. After the years have passed, the public has mellowed on Sept 11. It was an attack on US soil despite all other stories that floated around after wards.

Using some of the scrap metal to build a few ships was a good idea.

Answer 8

Yes 24 tons of steel from the world trade center was used in the ships construction. The name usually for submarines was given a waiver to be used on this ship. The motto of the ship is"never forget". The ship itself is 25,000 tons when it is fully outfitted.

Answer 9

The USS New York has already been to sea. I do not think it has been given its new class yet. It is the first anti-terrorist navy vessel. it is equipped with helocoptors. if I find those pictures I will post them for you and amend this.

Answer 10

Yes, it is true.

And to the people who claim it was shipped to China, you're flat-out wrong. And should be ashamed of yourselves for thinking that.
