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.

80 Years On,the Told and Untold Stories of Pearl Harbor-- Part 6: The Burial of Frank R, Carbiness, USMC

A picture accompanied the article of the burial of  Pfc Frank  R. Carbiness, USMC, at the USS Arizona Memorial.

As National Park Service historian Daniel Martinez salutes,  Jerry Carbiness hands the remains of his father to divers t be interred  inside the USS Arizona, Friday, December 23, 2011, in Honolulu.

Pfc. Carbiness, whom was aboard the USS Arizona when the Japanese attacked, narrowly  avoided getting hit by  machine gun fire, and luckily his only injury was  from friction burns suffered when he slid down a ladder while rushing to get off the ship.

Carbiness died in 2002, and is the second Marine to be interred within the USS Arizona.
