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.

Battleship USS North Carolina-- Part 6: 'Living With Water'

Their solution to the climate change situation, according to Bragg. is to make access to the ship sustainable into the future is a project called "Living With Water."

The first phase of the $4 to $5 million project, which Bragg said is currently funded to about $2.3 million, involves raising the level of the current parking lot and creating  a "constructed wetlands," or so-called "living shoreline" around it that can better handle the effects of climate change.

And the timeline for the project is estimated to be around 2023, with a second phase  centered on the often-flooded Battleship Park slated for 2024.

"We can deal with climate change," Bragg said, by using  this "cutting edge technology (of living shorelines) that has not been used  that much locally.
