The U.S. Navy has commissioned into its fleet a new assault ship built with tons of steel from the World Trade Center, which was struck down in the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks. The USS New York was named after the state to honor the nearly 3,000 victims who died in those attacks. Thousands of people turned out Saturday to watch the vessel become an active part of the Navy.
The motto of the USS New York is "strength forged through sacrifice. Never forget." It is meant to honor the resilience of New Yorkers in the years following the Sept. 11th attack, and more than seven tons of steel from the fallen twin towers are cast into the ship's bow.
