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.

His Pearl Harbor Death Was Highly Exaggerated-- Part 6: Hiding in a Real "Fine Target"

He spent the rest of the attack in a nearby ditch.
