Never Forget USS New York

[Walt Davies]

This ship was built from 24 tons of steel from the World Trade Center. It is the replacement for the Old LSDs that I served on.

Hey Walt, what kind of a ship is that? I'm a landlubber so if it ain't a battleship or carrier I have a hard time telling what it is.

some of us will never forget "haze gray and underway" Would like to try it again someday

Walt,

No gun mounts? Sailed in an old converted missle cruiser (CAG-1)50 years ago already.

This is from wiki: USS New York is an amphibious landing Dock. She can carry 700 of the best US Marines. A former air Loving sailor. Super Connies

Beautiful ship though I"d love to have seen the material turned into something with some major muscle. Not to say that 500 Marines aren"t a force to be reconed with but you gotta admit Marine or not 500 of them still can"t match a missle carrying a tactical nuke up Osama"s backside.... But that"s just my opinion...

Well Wayne that's sound just like the Glory Navy as one of our Admirals put it.

According to Snopes, it is not a photograph of the USS New York but rather the recently-commissioned USS San Antonio.

USS New York is still being built ?
