From the June 18, 2016, Port City (Wilmington, N.C.) Daily.
The 2,400-foot Officers Wardroom has been restored by ten North Carolina contractors using photos and descriptions. When the ship arrived at Wilmington in the 1960s, the wardroom was turned into a museum.
Work on it began last fall, but it now also has air conditioning, an audio-visual system and WiFi., which the ship obviously did not have back in World War II where it earned 15 battle stars.
Work continues on the ship's hull.

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.
