The USS New York, a battleship built with steel from the World Trade Center, has heralded its arrival at the site of the 2001 terrorist attack with a 21-gun salute.
Families of September 11 victims were among those who gathered at a waterfront viewing area, where they could see the crew standing along the deck of the grey US Navy battleship.
Shots were fired, with a cracking sound, in three bursts.
The bow of the $1 billion (£600m) ship, built in Louisiana, contains about 7.5 tons of steel from the fallen towers.
“It’s a transformation … from something really twisted and ugly,” said Rosaleen Tallon, who lost her firefighter brother, Sean, on 9/11. “I’m proud that our military is using that steel,” she added.
“When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.” – Fall Of The Republic – Buy the DVD here
