 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.

USS New York start knickname Bull Nose. The entire Bull Nose of the ship is 100% recycled steel of world trade center. Marines who look for something other than many other knicnames could embrace this. Special titles of US Marine, leatherneck, devil dogs, shellback, bluenose, etc. A distinction should go to servicemen who have sailed on this ship. Even if it’s just a pin.
