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.

German Blockade-Runner Badges-- Part 2
From Wikipedia.
The badge was a German military decoration for service on warships or merchant vessels (also allied) that attempted to break through the British sea blockade of Germany.
The badges were instituted April 1, 1941, and the first ones awarded July 1st.
A smaller, half-size version was awarded to civilian crew members of the merchant marine.
