CNN producer note

sjunat55 got to the U.S.S. New York early to get in. 'They were only letting in a couple of hundred at a time. You could fit in like a movie studio there. It's amazing, so huge, and the line went all the way 10 blocks to 38th or 39th street.'
- hhanks, CNN iReport producer

iReport —

Thousands came out to Pier 88 by the Hudson River in Manhattan to experience the USS New York, visiting the city whose name it carries for the first time.

From everyday people to NYPD, firefighters, Port Athority police, World War II veterans, even a National Park Service ranger stationed at the Statue of Liberty- it was a sight not to be missed and worth every moment of the long wait in line.

Here are some more photos I took during my visit on Sunday, November 8th, 2009.
