The PDF also includes photos of a prototype of 'Air Vehicle Number 1’ on board the USS George Washington CVN-73 for catapult fit checks. The plane will be known as the F/A-37.

Also included are photos of the USS New York, built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center. It is the fifth in a new class of warship designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.
