Christian Science MonitorA Google search lists USA Today and the CSM reporting the story, then moves out of the country for the Guardian, AFP and Canada's National Post. The AP had a story, and some papers ran it, but for the most part, it went unmentioned.
The USS New York?
Many New Yorkers profess ignorance. Is it a cruise ship? What do we need it for? Will it be a target?
Those are just some of the questions a handful of New Yorkers asked about the Navy warship which was launched Tuesday at Northrup Grumman's shipyard in Avondale, La.
The amphibious assault vessel was built with 7.5 tons of steel salvaged from the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. The ship, which can carry up to 800 Marines, is on its way to New York where it will be formally commissioned in early November.
While holding a door at a New York apartment building, doorman Christopher Elter admitted he had not heard of the ship.
I read about it in the Daily Telegraph from the UK.
