Phin Percy interviews teacher about the significance the USS New York has to his students by Mississippi River
4th grade students from Belle Chase Elementary School watching the USS New York as it departs New Orleans on the way to New York CIty where it will be commissioned Nov. 7, and will then sail to its homeport at Norfolk, Va. The bow stem of the ship contains about 7 1/2 tons of steel built with recycled steel from the remains of the World Trade Center salvaged from Fresh Kills landfill in Staten Island. Hundreds of people lined the banks of the Mississippi waving flags as the ship passed by on a foggy fall morning.
