WTC Steel Reshaped Into USS New York<br />A Navy vessel, to be christened the USS New York, will bring to life a fallen icon of the city that suffered most from the terrorist attacks two years ago. Last week, workers from the Amite Foundry and Machine Inc. melted down 24 tons of steel that once formed the shell of the World Trade Center, and began the process of resurrecting it. The melted steel will be poured into a sand mold containing an imprint for the bow-stem casting for the Navys next LPD San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock.
