USS New York
Claim: Image shows the warshipUSS New York, built using steel from the World Trade Center.
Status: True.
With a year to go before it even touches the water, the Navy's amphibious assault ship, USS New York, has already made history. It was built with24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center. It is the fifth in a new class of warship — designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of360 sailors and700 combat- ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft. Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite, La., to cast the ship's bow section.
When it was poured into the molds onSept. 9, 2003, "those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence," recalled NavyCapt. Kevin Wensing, who was there.
