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.

Joseph Hittorff Was a Classmate of William Croft

I have been writing about William Crosswell Croft and Barbara Engh in connection to her being "Color Girls" of the USNA Class of 1940.

It turns out that Ensign Joseph Hittorff was also a member of the Class of 1940.

Both men were at Pearl Harbor and on battleships.  William Croft survived that day.  Joseph Hittorff did not.
