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 Veteran Who Brought the USS Batfish to Oklahoma Hopes to See It Restored
From the Nov.19, 2019, Tulsa (Ok) Channel 2 NBC by Chris DiMaria.
World War II submarine veteran Nick Guagliado was instrumental in bringing the WW II submarine USS Batfish to its present home at the Muskogee War Memorial Park on on May 7, 1972. On May 23, 2019, it was moved from its hole in the ground by floodwaters from the Arkansas River (the article has video of it being moved by the river).
Now, it is going to need 250 semi-loads of dirt and millions of dollars to repair and the park is calling for help.
