It is kind of ghoulish, it is kind of patriotic, *but most of all it is economical. *Ready made steel, ripe for the picking, *if you were in charge, could you turn it down? I am not trying to be difficult, I am stating what most corporations and government agencies think about. *Money is the highest priority! *It always boils down to that fact. Money!Money! Money!*Money!

I was more or less being sarcastic. *I'm perfectly fine with the WTC steel being used for a warship, especially one that is named USS New York. *Now that is a fitting memorial, instead of 16 acres of grassland.

If it had been used on a USS New York spaceship it would have served mankind in some. Being a warship doesn't sound very appropriate to me.

"If it had been used on a USS New York spaceship it would have served mankind in some. Being a warship doesn't sound very appropriate to me."

I totally agree. A tragic place lending steel to a ship made to wage war is just a double tragedy.

A noble human endevor like space exploration would be much more fitting.

Perhaps they could use the steel in multiple projects, such as a space ship.

How comforting is THAT for a sailor? A boat made out of a successful target.

I think it would actually inspire the sailors rather than make them nervous of being on a ship made from wtc steel, i doubt that thought will be in any of their minds.

"On September 2001, our nation's enemies brought their fight to New York; the USS New York will now bring the fight to our nation's enemies well into the future."



Anyone know the exact date when she'll be launched? It can't be long.
