The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Some Other Wilmington Men at Pearl Harbor During the Attack

Besides the three aforementioned Moore brothers, two other brothers were serving aboard the USS Helena (in my history blog, I wrote about a person who served on the USS Helena that replaced this one during the Korean War.

The two brothers were Bryant and Frank Potter.

Another Wilmington man, Charles Coatsworth Pinckney was at Schofield Barracks Dec. 7,1941.
