GALLERY: The Twin Towers Rise Again

Well, kinda...

The USS New York made its entrance into the Hudson River yesterday, pausing at the World Trade Center to dock in Midtown Manhattan.

It was the end of the inaugural five-day voyage from Norfolk, Va., for the ships official commissioning into the Navy fleet.

It was an emotional voyage for a vessel that was named for the state after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and has almost eight tons of steel from the twin towers cast in its bow.  

Once in service, the ship will be used to transport Marines and combat equipment to conflicts around the world.
