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.

The End of the YP-346-- Part 9

From Pacifis Wrecksites.

On September 9, 1842, the YP-346 was attacked with gunfire from Japanese light cruiser Sendai and three destroyers while entering Tulagi Harbor.

The ship was forced aground and only one crew member was lost when he was struck by shrapnel and fell overboard.
