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.

Pearl Harbor Survivor's Story-- Part 3: Friends On the USS Arizona

A lot of friends he had made at boot camp had gone ahead of him and been assigned to the USS Arizona.  He also would have been assigned to that ship had it not been for a bad reaction he had to an inoculation which caused him to have to remain at boot camp while they went ahead.

"I checked the Arizona list of survivors, and there wasn't any of them listed, so I assume they were all killed.  At least, I never saw them again."

Almost.  --GreGen
