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.

A U-711 Victim

From the U-boat.org site.

The Solvol was a Norwegian fishing vessel that was shelled and sunk by the U-711 in the Norwegian Sea 13 April 1944.  

All 8 aboard were taken onto the U-711 and held as POWs by the Gestapo until the end of the war.
