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.

USS Register (APD-92)

Wikipedia.

Yesterday, I mentioned the USS Register as one of the USS Indianapolis' rescue ships.

The USS Register, a high-speed transport ship was commissioned  11 January 1945 and had just escorted two escort carriers to Ulithi Atoll when, on its way back, joined eight ships searching for the USS Indianapolis survivors.  

On August 3, 1845, it picked up 12 survivors and transferred them to the hospital at Peleliu the next day.
