The USS New York, with a crew of 360, sailed up the Hudson River Monday morning from its home port in Virginia.

The Navy's newest vessel stopped to pay tribute to the victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks with a 21-gun salute near the World Trade Center site.

Police, firefighters, military personnel and family members of those killed in the September 11th attacks gathered for the ceremony. They say they're proud the ship is partially made of WTC steel.

"It brings back my son's memory to me, but I never lost that anyhow, but the point is, to me it represents all the people they never found, you know," said Dennis O'Rourke, whose son was killed in the attacks. "The steel that it's made out of, it's like a memorial to all them people."

"It's motivation to get up every morning and do the best job that you can, because you know that you're representing, in a way, the families of the lost people of 9/11, the people who died that day," said Ensign Tim Gorman, who serves on the USS New York. "And I just wanna make sure I do the best job to honor them in a positive way."

A commissioning is set for Saturday.

The ship is open to the public for tours at Pier 88, alongside the Intrepid; it will be in town until November 12th.
