The USS New York

This week, I found this article: US christens ‘9/11 steel’ warship. The USS New York is a warship built partly from steel salvaged from the World Trade Center. Seven and one half tons of steel taken from Ground Zero were used in the bow of the ship. The ship bears a shield with two bars to symbolize the towers and a banner with the slogan Never Forget.

The ship was named in Louisiana recently and will be commissioned next year.

Now for my question: Why is it that the first news I hear of this is from the BBC? Why would this not have been in the mainstream press in our own country?
