USS New York Commissioning date – 11/7/2009
At the Intrepid Museum’s Official Opening Day Ceremony on Veterans Day, Governor Paterson announced the USS New York’s Commissioning date as November 7th, 2009.
New York will parade up the Hudson River on November 2nd and tie up at Pier 88 South, just north of Intrepid. While New York is in town she will be open to the public. It is sure to be an incredidible event, it’s been 8 years and finally some of what we lost returns. She will never fill the hole, but she will fill our hearts.
Please keep me informed I and alot of The Salty Dawgs Motorcycle riding club will love to be there. We are active Duty Navy or Retired Navy, That formed a USN Motorcycle riding club.

My son is going to be stationed on this ship. We are from NY State and we are a family of
career Firefighters. We are so proud of the fact he is serving on this ship.

As a federal officer for the USDHS, I am thrilled that there is an official date for the commissioning ceremonies. I am requesting for permission for the USDHS Memorial Warpipe Band to be present at this ceremony. It would mean alot to the band and be an honor to us as well.
