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 couples are slow dancing and there is one male-female couple. The other two are women couples.
A comment says that the reason for the women dancing is that so many men had joined the military.
