USS New York, built with steel from Twin Towers

The USS New York, a new battleship built with steel from the World Trade Center, sailed into New York harbour today on its maiden voyage and delivered a 21-gun salute near Ground Zero.
The $1 billion US Navy assault vessel, whose bow includes 7.5 tonnes of steel recycled from the 2001 terror attack, will be officially commissioned in its namesake city on Saturday.
Rescue workers and families of those killed in the attack gathered on the Manhattan waterfront to watch the 684ft warship glide up...

Has anyone put any thought into the notion that this # was built to destroy any lingering evidence of explosives used in or around the buildings on 9/11?

Not likely, they used only a small amount of steel from the towers. There was a show on Discovery, or History Channel about it, and the only part of the ship that is made of steel from the towers is the bulbous section of the bow, below the water.

Wiki link

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 molds on 9 September 2003, with seven tons cast to form the ship's "stem bar" — part of the ship's bow.

I hate to use Wiki for reference, but I'm pretty sure it's accurate.

What strikes me is that Sailors, all sailors have a tradition of believing in luck, jinxed ships and superstition.

To have part of a doomed building in your ship, one from which nearly 3,00people died in, cannot be 'lucky'.
I bet if you could talk to the sailors off the record, they wouldn't be happy about it.

We should follow this ship's service closely, see if it is jinxed.
