Laid down before the outbreak of World War II, the USS North Carolina was the first of a new class of American ships that would be among the fastest and most heavily armed battleships in the world. She was the first new American Battleship to arrive in Pearl Harbor just after the Japanese Attack and participated in every subsequent major naval campaign of the Pacific War. After serving magnificently in World War II, she was decomissioned from the US Navy and is preserved as a war memorial in Wilmington, NC.
