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.

Churchill's Secret Army Uncovered

From the April 3, 2011 Wales Online.

A bunker from World War II was recently opened to the public for the first time in over sixty years at Grd Coesau-Whips Woodland near Rudry..  Foresters cleaned out decades of brush and built a path and fence to keep people from falling into it.

This concrete bunker was built for secret auxiliary units set up to relay vital information about enemy movement as Britain braced itself for possible German occupation.

Had Hitler's forces invaded the island, resistance fighters would have lived off the land and launched sneak attacks on the Germans.
