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.

USS Jaguar (IX-120)-- Part 2: Delivered Diesel Oil, Fuel Gasoline and Minesweeping Gear
The Jaguar arrived at New Caledonia 19 January 1944 via Wellington, New Zealand , and from there transported vital diesel oil, aviation gasoline and minesweeping gear to the New Hebrides and Solomon Islands
It returned to the U.S. West Coast in 1946 and then to Norfolk Navy Yard via the Panama Canal on April 20, 1946, and was decommissioned there June 10 and turned over to the Maritime Commission.
It later served as a tanker for various shipping lines under the name Harry Peer in 1948 and Tini in 1949.
The ship was transferred over to the Panamanian flag in February 1951.
There are warning of asbestos threat as the ship had it.
