The USS New York {Navy Warship}

So, my grandparents are HUGE into the navy and etc, so they follow that kind of stuff, and my grandparents fathers through the ages, were navy pilots, and they told me something today I found quite interesting, so here you go!

The ships motto is "Never Forget", hope we never will.

That's great, but why couldn't they of just built some monument with the scrap...? I think it would of honored the deceased a bit better.

 

No way, this is probably the most unique and memorable monument they could've built. That and it's very practical. I wonder why this hasn't been known for so long if it was started in 2002, must've been hard keeping this under wraps. Wonder why'd they do that?

 

Well, it was made to hold 700 marines, it's an anti-terrorism warship. Oh, and they're rebuilding the twin-towers, I believe.

I'm visiting annanapolis soon, so i'll visit this grand ship If it's docked (if not I'll watch some FA-18A 's fly around).

Annanapolis -> Michigan -> Naval Base
