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.

Obituary for Herman Schmidt (Died on the USS OKlahoma)

From the previous post.

MAN KILLED IN ACTION HONORED

SHERIDAN--  Sheridan's first Memorial services for one of her sons who died in action  in World War II were held this week at the Immanuel Lutheran church.

The services were in honor of Herman Schmidt, 28, gunner's mate 3rd class, U.S. Navy, who was lost in action at Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, while he was on duty on a U.S. warship.

The body was not recovered.
