This is truly poignant. This hales back to memories of the battleship USS West Virginia (BB-48). Damaged and sunk at Pearl Harbor, she was raised, refurbished, and after serving well in the Pacific war, ended up in Tokyo Bay for the Japanese surrender. What ytuly delicious irony! May the USS New York and all who serve on her have the same history!
