New Navy Ship Built With WTC Steel
This is awesome but it gets even better.
NEW YORK - With a year to go before it even touches the water, the Navy's amphibious assault ship USS New York has already made history - twice. It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center, and it survived Hurricane Katrina.
Do ya think that a little water and wind will stop us? Got to ride out a hurricane once on an bird farm off the coast of Hawaii.
Northrop Grumman employed 6,500 at Avondale before Katrina. Today, roughly 5,500 are back on the job, working on the New York and three other vessels. More than 200 employees who lost their homes to Katrina are living at the shipyard, some on a Navy barge and others in bunk-style housing.
Oh and living on a barge or bunk-style housing is no fun, been there done that.
"It would be fitting if the first mission this ship would go on is to make sure that bin Laden is taken out, his terrorist organization is taken out," said Glenn Clement, a paint foreman. "He came in through the back door and knocked our towers down and (the New York) is coming right through the front door, and we want them to know that."
That osama bin goat huppin did not know the can of worms he opened when he hit us. Cause, oh bin, ya pissed off us rednecks and we will not stop until we have your head on a pike and your sorry ass is wrapped in pig skin and dumped, somewhere, we don't care.
