Being a Retired Squid, and having served on a couple of different ships, I have to say, the USS New York is a sleek beautiful vessel. he Fact that our Government approved the construction of this ship, and to use the Steel from the towers is a wonderful thing.
Hearing from you folks that live in New York, and had to deal with the tragedy first hand, and how you feel about the ship is very wonderful to hear as well.
This pic is my favorite of them - A great shot overall -
Go Bless America - May we be true to the men and women who have sacrificed. May we be strong in our efforts to make the world a better and safer place, and may we be humble in our efforts. However, may we strike down the enemy and let them know we are United and determined to outlast them.
