Never piss off a New Yorker

The USS New York, built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center. It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It carries a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.
Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite, Louisiana to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on 9 September 2003, "those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence", recalled Navy Captain Kevin Wensing. "It was a spiritual moment for everybody there."
Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the Trade Center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the 'hair on my neck stood up'. "It had a big meaning to it for all of us," he said. "They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We're going to be back."
The ship's motto? Never Forget.
