Native North Carolinian

One of my sons went on a tour of the [tag]U.S.S. North Carolina[/tag] this weekend and had a great time. I’ve been meaning to post on it for quite awhile, and this has spurred me to do so. This great battleship served in the Pacific during WWII. She’s been docked in Wilmington since 1961, having been saved from the scrappers by a [tag]Save Our Ship[/tag] campaign by the citizens of North Carolina.

Check out the official site for more on this ship.
