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.

Experience the USS North Carolina-- Part 2: Memorial Walkway Dedicated
Visitors can take free self-guided tours. Guided tours are available at an additional fee. Just be prepared to go up and down a whole lot of stairs.
On April 26, at 4:30 p.m., the SECU Memorial Walkway and cofferdam will be dedicated. It is 1.2 mile long and ten-feet wide with five areas to sit to honor the five military branches. This way visitors can view the entire ship.
The cofferdam was built to enable drydocking of the ship at its site.
April 26 will also coincide with the annual crew reunion. Twelve original members are expected to be in attendance.
