U.S.S. Never Forget Special Ops Warship


Perhaps the most meaningful recycling project ever. Please behold the USS New York which was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center. That is right there is probably some human in this mix.

It is the 5th in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft. The Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry to cast the ship's bow section. Dear terroristas watch out! This is a mean, lean fighting machine.
