Sea Trials Begin

Finally New York stretches her legs

Its been a long haul, unlike any other in history. She was born on 9-11 and tempered by the fire. Battered by Katrina and hardened by the wind. And loved by all who touch her, the steel even feels alive. Now she sets sail for the first time. New York’s Precomdet, along with a Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding crew will take her out for a spin this week and see what shakes loose. We will post pictures when cleared.

The future USS New York LPD-21 under construction at Northrop Grumman Ship Systems’ shipyard in Avondale, LA, will be the fifth amphibious transport dock of the San Antonio class. The ship was named New York after the state and incorporates in its construction steel salvaged from the World Trade Centers. Her ship motto is "Never Forget." "We're very proud that the twisted steel from the WTC towers will soon be used to forge an even stronger national defense," New York Gov. George Pataki spoke in 2002. "The USS New York will soon be defending freedom and combating terrorism around the globe, while also ensuring that the world never forgets the evil attacks of Sept. 11 and the courage and strength New Yorkers showed.” This will be the seventh U.S. ship named New York.
