Time to build: 14 years (from formal proposal to finish)

USS New York (LPD-21) is a permanent memorial of the attacks in New York and made from more than 7 tons of steel recovered from the World Trade Center believed to be from the south tower, forging an enduring alliance between her and the people of New York.
