Some New News About An Old War.
1. ARCTIC CONVOYS-- From the Jan.14, 2013 BBC-- World War II Arctic Convoy veterans to get medals. These brave souls took supplies of food and munitions to the Soviet Union under near constant attack and atrocious weather conditions. Who would ever want to go in that frigid Arctic water if your ship sank.
2. NO SPITFIRES FOUND-- From Jan. 18, 2013, Slash Gear-- Last month I wrote about the expedition looking for some 143 British Spitfire fighter planes supposedly buried in Burma near the end of the war. This article reports that none were found. It didn't say if they were still looking or not.

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.
