USN:
USS New York (LPD-21) is a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock.
7.5 short tons (6.8 t) of the steel used in the ship's construction came from the rubble of the World Trade Centre; this represents less than one thousandth of the total weight of the ship. The steel was melted down at Amite Foundry and Machine in Amite, Louisiana, to cast the ship's bow section. It was poured into the moulds on 9 September 2003, with 7 short tons (6.4 t) cast to form the ship's "stem bar"—part of the ship's bow. The foundry workers reportedly treated it with "reverence usually accorded to religious relics," gently touching it as they walked by. One worker delayed his retirement after 40 years of working to be part of the project.

USN:
USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) burning off the coast of Hawaii, 14 January 1969.
A start cart's hot exhaust was left pointed at a Zuni causing the payload(15lbs of Comp B) to detonate. The 'Huffer Hose' of the MD-3A had been shortened because of damage, which did not allow the exhaust from the Huffer to be far enough away from the ZUNI Rocket.
03 June 1972: Westwego, La. - The launch of the future Knox class destroyer escort USS Miller (DE 1091) at Avondale Shipyard, Westwego, Louisiana.

Imperial Germany:
Battleship SMS Hindenburg is launched at the naval shipyard of Kaiserliche Werft on the 1st of August, 1915
Battleships SMS Kaiser and König Albert, along with the light cruiser SMS Strassburg, enter Rio de Janeiro. The three ships were known as the Detached Division
In 1913, Kaiser and her sister ship König Albert and Strassburg toured the German colonies in South-West Africa. The three ships would then sail to St Helena, then Rio de Janeiro. Strassburg would be detached to visit Buenos Aires before rejoining the two battleships in Montevideo. After sailing through Cape Horn, the Detached Division would stay in Valparaiso for a week.
On the return trip, they would visit Bahía Blanca, Rio de Janeiro, Cape Verde, Maldeira and Vigo. The Detached Division had traveled some 20,000 nautical miles.
