About the USS North Carolina (BB-55):
The third USS North Carolina (BB-55) was a United States Navy battleship, the lead ship of her class.
She was laid down 27 October 1937 by New York Naval Shipyard, launched 13 June 1940, sponsored by Isabel Hoey (daughter of Clyde R. Hoey, Governor of North Carolina); and commissioned at New York 9 April 1941, Captain Olaf M. Hustvedt in command.
The first commissioned of the Navy's modern battleships, North Carolina received so much attention during her fitting out and trials that she won the enduring nickname "Showboat". North Carolina completed her shakedown in the Caribbean prior to the Pearl Harbor attack, and after intensive war exercises, entered the Pacific 10 June 1942.
After inactivation, she decommissioned at New York 27 June 1947. Struck from the Naval Vessel Register 1 June 1960, North Carolina was transferred to the people of North Carolina 6 September 1961. On 29 April 1962 she was dedicated at Wilmington, North Carolina, as a memorial to North Carolinians of all services killed in World War II, and may be visited to this day.
North Carolina received 15 battle stars for World War II service.
