From This Week in West Virginia History-- Huntington Junior College.
NOVEMBER 19, 1921 The battleship USS West Virginia was christened. It was one of six battleships at Pearl Harbor and suffered massive destruction from torpedoes and bombs.
It was raised, rebuilt and rejoined the 7th Fleet for the invasion of the Philippines.

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.
