USS NEW YORK Commissioning
The commissioning of USS NEW YORK on November 7, 2009 will mark a significant milestone with its entry to the U.S. Navy fleet and an opportunity to show appreciation to the men and women who have chosen to go in harm’s way to protect and defend the American way of life.
According to USS NEW YORK officials site www.ussny.org, USS NEW YORK has a special role in the war on terror. Her bow, hardened by steel salvaged from the wreckage of the World Trade Center, embodies the strength and determination of the people of New York — not only to recover, but to take the fight to the enemy.
This formal ceremony will do more than honor the memory of those killed in the attacks. It will pay homage to those who survived, while building an enduring bond between the people of New York and the ship and her crew.
USS NEW YORK will be open for public visiting for several days during the ten day period when she will be in New York City, and those dates and times will be posted on the official commissioning website in October. However, because of extremely limited space, attendance at the commissioning ceremony will be by invitation only. Please return regularly to www.ussny.org for the latest information on visit dates and times.
The ship will be at Pier 88, at 48th Street and 12th Avenue, New York City.
