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.

Arlington Farms had various uses after the war before being razed in the 1960s and is now part of Arlington National Cemetery.

During the war, Arlington Farms was a major attraction for male military members for some reason.
