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.

February 9, 1942: Guadalcanal and the SS Normandie
FEBRUARY 9, 1942:
The World War II battle of Guadalcanal ended with an Allied victory over Japanese forces.
This same day, The SS Normandie, a former French ocean liner being refitted for the U.S. Navy at a New York pier, caught fire. It capsized early the next morning.
