The Bow of this Grand Lady was built from "Ground Zero Steel" from remains of the World Trade Center, and it's fitting that it will be in New York City in order to be Commissioned to the United States Navy on my 2nd Birthday of Birthdays I have every year (My first has been on October 8th since 1997 because it is the date of my Liver Transplant.)on November 7th of this year, next Saturday!!!

"Weldcome" Home USS New York!!! God Bless You Always!!!!! Right now it's Docked right close to the Famous USS INTREPID which is now a very popular museum... I might just take a trip to the Big Apple just to go see it for myself as a sort of birthday present for myself!!! ;) ;) ;)

Please give this hype a rest. 71/2 tons out of 3700 tons and is is a great patriotic tribute?!?!?!?! What Bull*h*t!!!! Give us a break! Politics! Hype! Political theater! Worse modern political patriotism! This is like flying a giant patriotic size flag at a foreign car dealership.

Hi Joe!

You are definitely entitled to your opinion just like I am entitled to mine... Now if you want to boast about how your "opinion " is bigger or better than mine - well, you can do that too!!! I really do not care!!! You want to make yourself look foolish, you can do that too after all, that is your choice!!! You can blow it out of whatever orifice you wish to from now on for all I care as you seem to be doing it so well in this example!!!

Now, if you haven't got it all out of your system then please continue until you do, or not because it really doesn't matter to me what you think anymore!!! ;)
Btw, I hope all is well with you and your miserable self!!! ;) I say this affectionately because that is how you always respond when asked: "How are you doing Joe?" ;) ;) ;) ROTFLMFAOAAA!!! :) :) :)

Repectfully,
Henry

Here is another interesting (at least to me) fact about that ship.

It's four big Diesels are produced by Fairbanks Morse in my current hometown of Beloit Wisconsin.
