USS New York departs Norfolk Tuesday |
A Navy warship built with steel salvaged from the wreckage of the World Trade Center left Norfolk on Tuesday on its maiden overseas deployment.
The amphibious transport dock New York is part of a three-ship group that will spend at least six months patrolling the Mediterranean Sea and Arabian Gulf, training alongside the military forces of various allies and responding to political and humanitarian crises.
In addition to "responding to political and humanitarian" missions, the New York is also prepared to assist in the destruction of America's enemies.
