> It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center.
>
> It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that
include
> special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors
and
> 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault
> craft.
>
> Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in
> Amite, LA to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds
> on Sept 9, 2003, 'those big rough steelworkers treated it with total
> reverence,' recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. 'It was a
> spiritual moment for everybody there.'
>
>
> Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center
> steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the 'hair on my neck
> stood up.' 'It had a big meaning to it for all of us,' he said 'They
knocked
> us down. They can't keep us down.We're going to be back.'
>
>
> The ship's motto? 'Never Forget'
>
> Please keep this so everyone can see what we are made of in this country! (
