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.

Using the Oklahoma Raising on the Costa Concordia
The efforts to right the stricken ocean liner Costa Concordia in the Mediterranean Sea are the same that were used to raise the USS Oklahoma in Pearl Harbor from 1942-1943. It worked then, but will it work again on a ship so much bigger than the Oklahoma.
Back then 21 derricks were attached to the Oklahoma and had strong wires attached to 21 wenches ashore on Ford Island.
