June 8, 2012, San Diego Union Times.
Four survivors of the famous battleship that turned turtle at the Battle of Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, held a mini reunion of their own at the USS Midway Museum Friday morning June 8th.
Paul Goodyear, Ed Vezey, Bill Hendley and Harold Johnson toured it.
Johnson said he was below deck but managed to scramble out through the main turret.
Of the survivors that day, only 25 are alive today.

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.
