Commissioned in 2009, USS New York is the latest in a long line of waships named after the American state and city. However, it carries more than just the name alone - it is made in part with steel from the ruins of the Twin Towers. It also contains reminders of 9/11, including a surviving firefighters jacket in the bridge of the ship.
