A lot is being made of the new warship, the USS New York and it's being partially built from steel from the 911 tradgedy. Old time sailors were a superstitious lot. I wonder how they would view serving on a ship like that.:-3

That crossed my mind as well, not sure how they will feel serving on her.

The motto on the ship:

The new sailors and marines will sail her with pride.

It's a fine looking vessel, and I think there'd be more sailors wanting to serve on her, than the other way round.
