Bruce Lukaszewicz (BELphotos) > USS Constellation (CV64) - At 10:40 hours on November 2, 2002, the aircraft carrier USS Constellation slowly and proudly leaves San Diego Harbor for her final deployment before decommissioning. She was the second ship in the Kitty Hawk Class of ships and the third ship in the US Navy to bear the name Constellation. Nicknamed 'America’s Flagship', she was decommissioned on August 7, 2003, after 41 years, nine months and 11 days of naval service. She will be moth-balled in the Pacific Northwest.
Bruce Lukaszewicz (BELphotos) > USS New York Keel Laid - September 10, 2004 Christened - March 1, 2008 (scheduled) Commissioned - late 2009 (scheduled) website - http://www.USSNewYork.com Drawing Provided by Naval Sea Systems Command (RELEASED) Ship Motto - 'Never Forget' This is Tom Freemans painting of the amphibious transport dock ship USS New York (LPD 21) in New York harbor. Tom Freeman is regarded by many as the top naval historic artist in the world today. His paintings, which hang in the Presidential Wing of the White House, the Arizona Memorial in Honolulu, the U.S. Naval Academy Museum, and other prestigious naval museums, galleries and private collections, are thoroughly researched, extraordinarily detailed, and powerfully dramatic. Twenty-four tons of the steel used in its construction came from the small amount of rubble from the World Trade Center actually preserved for posterity. Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite, Louisiana to cast the ship's bow section. It was poured into the molds on September 9, 2003. With seven tons melted down and cast to form the ship's "stem bar" — part of the ship's bow. The shipyard workers reportedly treated it with "reverence usually accorded to religious relics", gently touching it as they walked by. When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003, 'those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence,' recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. 'It was a spiritual moment for everybody there.' USS New York is a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock, it is the fifth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the state of New York. Designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists; It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft. My niece Regina sent this to me and asked that I pass it on. As a native New Yorker, I can think of no better way than to permanently display this message in this gallery.
