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.

Army Corps of Engineers Looking for Bombs and Shells

From the December 25, 2009, Silicon Valley (Ca) News.

The US Army Corps of Engineers was searching hundreds of square miles of desert in southeast California for an unknown number of unexploded bombs and artillery shells.

Thousands of bombs were dropped and many more shells fired east of Borrego Springs during training exercises for North Africa.  Most weren't live, bit some weren't and others dumped.

So some are potentially dangerous.

The search was scheduled to start in January.
