The New York came to life Saturday, becoming the Navy's newest warship - and a proud symbol of fortitude.
The $1 billion amphibious transport dock carries 7.5 tons of steel from the World Trade Center in her bow stem.
"The New York will be a visible testament to our resilience," said Navy Secretary Ray Mabus as the first watch was set and hundreds of sailors and Marines ran onto the decks of the ship, a tradition signaling the official commissioning of the vessel.
