Ship built with recycled WTC steel
—
A Navy warship, its bow made of recycled steel from the World Trade Center, glided into New York harbor this week, capping a five-day voyage from Virginia for its official commissioning.   Laden with symbolism, the $1 billion USS New York weighed in at 25,000 tons, including 7.5 tons of steels salvaged from the wreckage of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. Made in Louisiana, the 684-foot ship is the length of two football fields.
