USS New York

The New York is a ship with special meaning—she was built with 7.5 tons of steel recovered from the World Trade Center in her bow, making her a living memorial to the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001. Commissioned in 2009 in New York Harbor, she carries that responsibility in every deployment. She has served in the Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean, projecting power and carrying a message of American resilience wherever she sails. She is never just a ship. She is a promise.
