From the March 19, 2013, Ludington (Michigan) Daily News "Pearl Harbor survivor Leo Petrosky dies Saturday"
Leo Petrosky, 91, was born in Pennsylvania in 1922 and his family moved to Detroit four years later. He joined the Navy on his 18th birthday in 1940.
He was on the flagship of the U.S. Pacific fleet, the USS Pennsylvania and worked on the ship's plane catapults.

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.
