Senior Drill is right ; It means whatever you want it to mean.
Maybe there should be no buzz about it since the ships of that class are also given the names of other UScities. however all the parade around that new ship and the symbolic steel part from the WTC debris in it can only give the feeling it is the answer from the US to the rest of the World after 9/11... What kind of message does the US want to give by making a military ship out of the WTC ? Does it mean recycling or revenge ? Peace and forgivenness or War and hate ? In my opinion, all this is a show off for a US revenge over its ennemies and a symbol for its own people... But this doesn't seem to pave the way for a brighter future....
And a little precision to finish, the USS New York is from the class San Antonio, a class of ships designed to conduct landing assaults on ennemy shores. It would have been better, to limitate the risk of negative impressions, if it were a medical ship, in my opinion. Still, it is better than a destroyer or a nuclear powered attack submarine
