The future USS New York passes lower Manhattan next to where the World Trade Center towers once stood November 2, 2009 in New York City.
And some more pics:

Awesome pictures.
On a side note...who the hell did they contract to build the freedom tower? As slow as there going it seems they could use a hand or two. I know quite a few unemployed folks that would love to have a job. IT'S BEEN NINE YEARS! Get the fucking thing built already! |

That's some definite American badassery right there.
"Wanna destroy my building? OK, motherfucker, but I'm building a warship out of the remains....." Good Shit.

The thing that gave me the chills is the fact that they were able to build that ship faster than the fucking memorial. What a bureaucratic nightmare.

That boat is awesome.
The USS New York is a first of it's kind ship made from the steel of the WTC and specifically suited to attacking and killing terrorists. That boat says to the world that when you fuck with America, we will design a new weapon specifically designed to kick your fucking ass, give it a name that will remind everyone why it was build and then we'll use the ruins of the things you destroyed to build it. If you attack us then we will build a weapon that is optimized to kill you, and then we'll use it on you. God bless the sailors and marines serving on the USS New York. Fuck the terrorists that these sailors and marines are going to kill! |

Good grief. I was working in the Verizon building next door back in January of this year and the re-construction site looked almost exactly the same. Is there some sort of intentional work slowdown, or did they discover an endangered salamander or something?
That's the slowest progress I've ever seen. -Gator |

A quick question for Dport or other swabbies. Where are the anchors? Do you use a crane to remove them from the chain and stow them somewhere when they aren't in active use?

If you look at the bow photo, you'll see the two protrusions on either side. Those are where the anchors come out. If you look at the top of those protrusions the bottom of the anchor can be seen. It's not much to see, granted, it's flat. It's designed that way to minimize RCS. I would post a pic, but I'm at work and can't access my photobucket account.

Part of the rusted area, which is apparently inexcusible for some, is where the anchor runs up and down the hawsepipe. LCS-1 has a more radical design for the anchor/hawsepipe. |
