Battleship USS North Carolina Unveils Restored Officers Dining Room

From the June 18, 2016, Port City (Wilmington, N.C.) Daily.

The 2,400-foot Officers Wardroom has been restored by ten North Carolina contractors using photos and descriptions.  When the ship arrived at Wilmington in the 1960s, the wardroom was turned into a  museum.

Work on it began last fall, but it now also has air conditioning, an audio-visual system and WiFi., which the ship obviously did not have back in World War II where it earned 15 battle stars.

Work continues on the ship's hull.
