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.

Camp McCoy, Wis. --Part 5: Prisoner of War Camp
In addition, the previous CCC discharge and reception center on South Post, was converted into a relocation and prisoner of war camp. The camp was the largest Japanese prisoner of war camp in the Continental United States and also housed several thousand German and Korean prisoners.
Camp McCoy is unique in American history because it was both a relocation camp for West Coast Japanese Americans as well as European and Japanese prisoners captured in World War II.
