USS New York

http://www.foxnews.com/video2/video0...est=latestnews

i'm sure most of you have seen it before since it's been in the news for several weeks.

i think the only way that could be more American is with a on the front and apple pie being served on the decks. man, that thing is awesome! i love how they reused steel from the WTC. :flag1:

2nded. Somehow, though morbid, the USN and associated naval yards just managed to make 24 tons of blown up building and sacrificed lives into one sexy troop lander.

And now to the all important part.. those 1000+ people who are now part of New York get their chance to fight back.

How fitting.

I don't think you're going to find many members here that would think that. We should be considerate, though, at the same time just like you did

It's an Amphib Landing Craft. I'd expect them to bolt that thing to a Destroyer, Cruiser, or something to that effect. Less lame.

Seeing that ship arrive in NY, and living in NY myself, and witnessing 'first hand' the devastation of the World Trade Center Towers, I feel so 'humbled' by this new ship that was built with pieces of steel from the Towers, and most likely 'pieces' of the poor souls that were in those Towers on that day...

Don't take that comment the wrong way, as what I am saying is that the 'hearts and souls' of all that were killed that day 'live on' in that beautiful new ship...

They will travel with that ship and with all the Navy Sailors and Marines deployed on that ship to 'wherever' it goes...

They are like the 'guardian angels' of the brave military personnel that are aboard to serve and protect 'all of us' here at home...

May God Bless all those that were lost and may God Bless all those that will serve on that ship as well.................

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.

But where else do you hide such a badazz top secret weapon?

Where no one would look for it hidden on a semi non threatning ship to whollop the begebus out of someone without warning or reason to fear such things from it.

And since it is from NY, its probably packing something
Atleast its gotta have a button to give the fingers under the chin go f yourself gesture.

Yep, prow made out of 24 tons of WTC steel.

20+ year old New Osprey you mean. Nice concept but god Bell sucked at executing it. I'll seriously rage if that thing decides to "oops.. where flybywire go?" and faceplant on the helo deck.
