The USS New York -- a ship built out of steel from the World Trade Center arrives in New York.
Script:
The USS New York -- a ship built from 7 and a half tonnes of
salvaged steel from the World Trade Center -- arrives in New York
City.
The warship sailed up the Hudson River to near Ground Zero,
where it fired a 21-gun salute in tribute to those killed in the
2001 attacks. Relatives of 9/11 victims -- along with members of
the emergency services and the public -- watched the ship as it
approached.
The US Navy is to hold an official commissioning ceremony for
the new warship on Saturday.
The ship's crest includes images of the Twin Towers and features
the colors of the city departments that first responded to the
attacks in which nearly 3,000 people died.
