Bits of War.
1. CODE-BREAKING-- Oct. 5, 2011. The major British code-breaking site at Blethchley Park received a 4.6 million pound grant for restoration. The country estate housed once housed around 10,000 people at its peak. This is where the German cypher systems Enigma and Lorenz were broken, shortening the war by an estimated two years
2. BORN IN A SHELTER-- Oct. 6, 2011. A woman born in Chislehurst Caves during World War II bombing returned for a visit. Rose Razzell, 70, was born during and April 1941 air raid to her mother, Polly Wakeman. Polly couldn't think of a middle name for her baby girl and nurses suggested Cavena for where she was born.

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.
