USS New York arrival in NYC 11-2-09

Not aviation unless she is carrying a few helicopters or a V-22 I guess, but for those interested the newest USS New York arrives in New York City on Monday Novemeber 2nd, 2009 at 7:30AM by the Verazzano.

The ship contains 7.5 tons of steel recovered from the World Trade Center site.

Should be some good photo ops, here is the complete schedule

Got my invitation from the Department of the Navy for the commissioning ceremony today. GO NAVY!!!

is the ship going to be "parkin" by the verranzano bridge until the ceremony, or is that where it's going to be held?

Pier 88 next to the Intrepid.

I believe there is a V-22 aboard or has the capacity to carry it.

Cool, I believe it can accomodate 2 V-22's or three helocopters. It would be great to see a V-22 on her.

i'm wondering if it would be better to go under the vaerranzano or the west side. my gut tells me that the west side is going to be crammed to it's fullest meaking a good clear shot hard to come by.

You'll get better views from under the VZ but miss the 21 gun salute by Ground zero

This vessel is amazing. What an arsenal.

Best of luck for photos :)

i've seen enough of those already and i'm only 30 years old.

Where's the best place to park and spot on the east side of the Verrazano ??
I was thinking either on northside or southside in one of the small parking lots right off the Belt ?
Was just curious if anyone has spotted from either of those locations before ?
