*** The USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) had two beam submerged torpedo tubes. I didn't know battleships had torpedoes.
*** The USS South Dakota name resurfaces on a Virginia Class attack submarine. The USS South Dakota was the most decorated battleship in World War II with 13 Battle Stars. (April 14, 2012)
*** April 13, 2012. The gun barrel from the USS Arizona was in East St. Louis, Illinois where it will be placed on the BNSF Railway.
Arizona is paying $100,000 to have it transported from Virginia to Phoenix.

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.
