The USS New York entered City waters today preceding its commission on Saturday. Its bow was built with steel from the World Trade Center. I was lucky to get this image as it was way ahead of the schedule posted in the NY Daily News! I was standing on the viaduct on the far west side of the city, right at about 125th Street.

Fantastic Beth,
I like the perspective, the USS New York looks like she is built with stealth mode in mind for under the radar operation...:D She is very impressive...:cool:

Gus, you're exactly right. This ship was built to have a very low radar profile. That's why those towers were enclosed by those panels and the whole ship has a lot of angles, like the stealth planes. If only these things were built for peaceful purposes...
