The US Navy is making history by recycling 24 tons of scrap steel recovered from the World Trade center after the 9/11 attacks.  The name of this amphibious war ship is the USS New York.  The 24 tons of scrap steel was pored into the vessel’s bow section.  The ship is designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists.  It will carry 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.
