| Comments: | as an ex navy wife i highly support the navy. I really think it was the most appropriate thing to do is use beams from world trade center for the bow of the ship. This ship is special and holds special feeling. I have the highest respect to all who serve on her. I wish all who serve on her the best of luck, and take care of eachother. You all are a part of a wonderful family, marines and navy alike. Good luck to you all. Dawn Coplan From Little Rock , Arkansas |

| Comments: | My Dad served on the USS NY during the Okinawa campaign.
His name was Harold Norman Nickerson, probably known as Nick or Norman to those close to him. He passed away in 1981 at age 66. I have all of his photographs from his tour of duty in Londonderry Northern Ireland. He would be 94 if alive today. Probably a long shot but if anyone has pics or names from that time period it would be interesting to compare notes. Thanks Pete Nickerson |

| Comments: | Your site has problems. I tried to order the lousy T-shirt and although it lists my credit card it tells me to use another. It then demands my phone number. I will not leave my phone number on the internet for a $12 purchase. I choose which credit card I will use, not you. If you do not accept it - do not list it. I tried to respond under contact but your system would not allow it. Enjoy. |

| E-mail address: | wilson_dennis@bellsouth.net |
| Comments: | My father, Henry M. Wilson was a YNC on BB34 in the early 1940's. He always spoke with pride and honor about the New York and her crew. Being that the New York was too large to bring back to his home in Lavonia Georgia, he settled on marrying a gorgeous young woman from Brooklyn instead. Mom and Dad passed on a number of picture/scrap books of their lives during that time. They instilled great pride in our country and those who chose to protect her. I later became a Vietnam Navy Veteran as a result of these beliefs. The new vessel has a high standard to live up to. |

| Comments: | I assume it was symbolic that New York was 11TH state to come into the union and that the TWIN TOWERS represented the number eleven, and having just discovered this site, I wonder what hull number 21 represents. The Franklin D Roosevelt was NFDR(in 63); will this ship's call sigh be NYII or give it 5digits?, such as NYC11. It would never have to be decoded by a radioman for officers' reading. Anyone know who NXOP was? God Bless our American Spirit!!!!!Can't wait to see this ship Claerk RM2 South Philly |
