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.

Tripod Mast of USS Oklahoma Found

From 2009.

When the USS Missouri was brought into Pearl Harbor to become a memorial, they had to dredge part of the bay by where the USS Oklahoma was anchored Dec. 7, 1941.

The USS Oklahoma capsized in the attack and lost part of its tripod mast in the mud of the harbor after it was uprighted in 1943.

The city of Muskogee in Oklahoma was trying to get it. It did.
