New Navy ship being built with WTC steel

Updated: 11:09 p.m. ET April 3, 2006
NEW YORK - With a year to go before it even touches the water, the Navy’s amphibious assault ship USS New York has already made history — twice. It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center, and it survived Hurricane Katrina.

snip~

USS New York 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.

I don't know what those special operations might be! I hope they don't include Iran.
And they speculate it may even catch Bin Laden! Don't worry other ships are planned to honor the other tragedies of 9/11-USS Somerset-for flight 93-but they won't use crime scene evidence (I would guess) for their creation.
