This is the article, and video of the USS New York. Where was the ship constructed? Why is this boat so significant to New York city? What is some of the boat made out of? Do you think it is a memorial to those who lost their lives or is it disrespectful in any way? In your opinion why do you think they chose to use the material they did to make the ship?

  2. The USS New York was built down in Louisiana that cost about a billion dollars to build. The boat was made to help carry supplies for the war. Things such as vehicles that they use in the water. But what makes the USS New York so significant is that the bow of the ship was made of 7.5 tons of steel from the world trade centers.

    I believe that it is a memorial to all of those who have lost family members in the 9/11 attack. Because by doing that they always have a piece of them with them. Also, because it's on the USS New York which I believe is the most famous war ship. But I believe that they chose to use the world trade center peices to build part of the ship to show everyone that they will never forget. And that this was one of the worst things that ever happened to America.
