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.

Bits of War: USS North Carolina-- USS Arizona Memorial-- Last Japanese Soldier to Surrender (1974)


Bits of War.

1.  USS NORTH CAROLINA--  The USS North Carolina hosted "Battleship Alive" this past Saturday, April 27.  Re-enactors were all over the ship portraying the daily routine  of its crew.

2.  USS ARIZONA MEMORIAL--  This will remain closed for a second straight Memorial Day because of needed repairs to its dock.

3.  LAST JAPANESE SOLDIER TO SURRENDER--  Nakamura Teruno was captured on the Indonesian island of Morotai in December 1974.
