Hundreds of sailors and officers stood at attention on a chilly Saturday morning as the Navy put the USS New York into service at a pier in New York City.
The new vessel was decked in red, white and blue bunting for the ceremony, which started with a moment of silence for those whose lives were lost on Sept. 11. 2001.
The $1 billion warship was built near New Orleans by workers who survived Hurricane Katrina.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was on hand for the ceremony.
