Navy Launches Ship Made With World Trade Center Steel.

Story here.

Apparently the ship was built in Louisiana, which accounts for the presence of corrupt congressman William "Cold Cash" Jefferson (D-LA) at the launching ceremony.

Strangely enough, the story doesn't mention the type or class of the ship, although by reading down you learn it carries sailors, Marines, landing craft and helicopters, which makes it an amphibious ship of the LPD/LSD type. Really, those sort of details should be routine in a news article written for a military news magazine.
