USS New York Gets Commissioned Today
Today, the United States Navy will officially commission LPD 21, the USS New York.
It was built from steel from the rubble of the Twin Towers, and it is a Marine transport.
There is no better way to pay back the enemy than to land a bunch of US Marines on their doorstep.
Also, I just saw this on the USSNY website: Similar ships, the LPD-24 Arlington and LPD-25 Somerset, are being built with materials recovered from the Sept 11 Pentagon and Flight 93 sites, respectively. Each of these ships carries 699 Marines in normal mode, up to 800 in a surge. In other words, once these three Sept 11 LPDs come online, there will be 2,097 Marines they can bring to the enemy at a moment’s notice, and 2400 in surge form.
