Ground Zero Wreckage to Build Navy Ship

A L B A N Y, N.Y., Dec. 26 — Steel from the wreckage of the World Trade Center will be used to build the USS New York, a Navy ship named in honor of those who died in the Sept. 11 attacks.

The scrap steel will be taken from the Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island Friday, then trucked to Pascagoula, Miss. The Northrop Grumman Corporation will start building the ship next year.

USS New York will be one of 12 amphibious assault ships in a class that the Navy calls one of its most technologically innovative. It will carry a crew of more than 400 Navy crew and up to 800 marines and cost $800 million. Gov. George Pataki said he's proud twisted steel from the towers will forge a strong national defense.

New York officials had to get special permission to name the vessel. Currently, only submarines get state names.

Ok...let me get this straight.

You think it's good, that they're making a weapon of war, which will definetly be used sometime in the future to kill people, out of the wreckage of the two towers, where people were killed?

So to you basically, Americans are more important than other people around the world.

Would it be much better if they used it to build cars instead?

No it's symbolic. The hull of a war ship wis where the metal will be placed. It will slice thru the water on it's way to payback those mutherfuckers who cause the destruction of the WTC
