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.

HMAS Perth Survivor

From 2012.

Charles William Ray, one of the 12 surviving crew members of the HMAS Perth said:  "We always come on the first of March every year for a service of remembrance to the ship, mainly to our shipmates.

"And all I hope is that if God's willing, that I'll live as long as I can to attend the yearly service.  That's my aim in life."
