NEW YORK — The USS New York has left its namesake city after finishing its inaugural visit.
The amphibious transport dock ship was built in Louisiana with steel from the rubble of the World Trade Center. It arrived in the city early last week and was commissioned Nov. 7.
Lt. Commander Suzanna Brugler says the ship left at 7 a.m. Thursday for a naval weapons station in New Jersey.
Officials said the plan is to wait out severe weather moving up the east coast before continuing on to Onslow Bay, N.C., where it will offload Marines. Its homeport is Norfolk, Va.
