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.

Claborn Begley, a Follow Up


I was wondering whether Claborn Begley survived the war.  One source I found for US Navy deaths in World War II didn't list him, so I have to figure he did.

The Tin Can Sailors entry has a list of the Reuben James' crew at the destroyers.com site.

Behind his name is a comment:  "My Grandpa was a Hero.  Why isn't he mentioned anywhere?"
