The Navy's newest LPD, the USS NY, launched recently. The steel (or at least part of it) comes from the World Trade Center.
A beautiful ship, though a sad sight. Godspeed.
(What's an LPD? Your basic Marine taxi - it can deliver five hundred Marines (or blanket huggers) to a trouble spot post-haste. In Navy parlance, LPD stands for amphibious transport dock . . . they're worse spellers than I am...)
