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.

Bomb Blown Up in Wales

From the September 6th BBC News: Southwest Wales.

A World War II bomb was discovered near L.lan, elli, midway on the Welsh south coast and set off in a controlled explosion.  It was discovered near the Huntsman Performance Products chemical plant on Wednesday.  Moved to a safe area by police and RAF experts to be assessed, it was decided it couldn't be safely disarmed and then blown up.

There was no need for evacuation, but some nearby roads were closed.

Workmen at the plant site discovered it.  There was no metion whether it was Allied or German.
