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.

From February 1, 2022, Yahoo! News  "The only US sub to sink an enemy battleship during WW II made recordings of the attack that you can still listen to" by Benjamin Brimelow.

**  On November 21, 1944, the U.S. submarine USS Sealion came upon a group of Japanese ships by the Taiwan Strait.

**  Over several hours that morning early that morning, the Sealion attacked the Japanese ships, sinking the battleship IJN Kongo.

**  The Sealion was the only Allied submarine to sink an enemy battleship during the war. and the event was captured on tape.
