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.

U.S. Pearl Harbor Losses: Cruisers and Destroyers


CRUISERS:

 HEAVY DAMAGE BUT REPAIRED: USS Raleigh

LIGHT DAMAGE: USS New Orleans, USS Detroit, USS San Francisco, USS Helena, USS Honolulu.

DESTROYERS: DESTROYED BUT PARTS SALVAGED: USS Downes, USS Cassin

HEAVILY DAMAGED: USS Shaw. (With that explosion I have to wonder how they were ever able to get the ship back in service.
