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.

World War II Surrender Ceremony on Board the USS Missouri to Be Held September 2, 2020
From the August 24, 2020, "WW II surrender ceremony in Hawaii limited to local veterans" by Hannah Patrick.
This 75th World War II anniversary at Pearl Harbor will likely be the last opportunity for many of that war's aging veterans to attend a commemoration, but sadly will only be limited to those veterans living in Hawaii because of coronavirus concerns.
Originally plans called for 200 to assemble on the deck of the battleship USS Missouri, where the original surrender ceremony took place in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945.
Organizers are working on a way to make the event virtual for WW II veterans on the mainland.
Here's Hoping They Find a Way to Make It Virtual. --GreGen
