USS New York built from the World Trade Center Scrap Steel Temecula Valley Council 9964  
USS New York: It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center. Twenty-four tons of the steel used in its construction came from the rubble of the World Trade Center, 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. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_New_York_(LPD-21)
