Toured it twice, same with Yorktown and Laffy. Probably hit all again one more time before I die.

Designed to the same treaty standard displacement limit of 35,000 long tons as the South Dakota class.

My personal favorite ship, ever since I read a story from a World War 2 veteran who served on her. He relayed a story of coming into Pearl Harbor onboard shortly after the attack by the Japanese, and how the other crews and workers present cheered.

lol

been on board this ship. a beauty. the history is amazing.

Wow thank you

What a beauty!

Not Forgotten. She is a Mighty Remembrance of the Will and Might of America. The mere mention of this ship literally made Nazi and Japanese Forces Quiver.

Forgotten? Looks pretty well taken care of to me...

As a kid with my family in the 60’s I toured her. I can still see those massive guns in my mind. It was unbelievable to me then and still is now. Peace. Out.

where the hell are three of her guidance antennas on top of their Gun directors? the one on the after director is there but the bow and two side director ones are missing. allot of these museums need to take a page from the USS KIDD museum. when they restored the KIDD back to her WWII configuration. ANYTHING that was missing they fabricated themselves and placed it back on the ship so it at least looked like it should. they could fabricate the missing antennas out of mesh screen and make their frames from Aluminum sheet and restore them into position so the ship looks right at least.

I'll never forget my youngest son upon walking up and seeing the North Carolina for the first time saying in awe, " Man, If you had this ship YOU COULD DESTROY ANYTHING!!!!!".

Stunning!!

Ok

Thank you for posting this. I must have watched it 10 times over. Andrea Bocelli has a beautiful and remarkable voice.

Built her as a model back in the 70s.

"forgotten" like there arent a millions of us autistically obsessed with old naval ships XD

She is a beautiful ship and a powerful one to

Forgotten? Not really.

Visited this craft a few years ago, having never stepped foot onto any type of naval vessel….only boat I’ve been was a 14’ outboard I boat used she the children were young! Touring the USSNC brought an entirely new realized respect for our sailors….i banged my right shins 3x in an hour and a half onboard ….going through those bulkheads…..how they did it day in and day out….in rolling seas and battle stations….God Bless each and every one of them….and bless you for your selfless service!

this is weird!!! Who thinks the Battleship North Carolina is forgotten? Drive down US 17 in Wilmington, NC anytime and you can't miss it. It's bigger than life right in front of you.

Never forgotten!

When it was asked of us we answered the call we stood strong and relied on the person next to us no matter the color no matter background we served we were the few we are the proud we are former Marines

Hi

Hi

Every battleship is not forgotten, and they can be reactivated at any time as required by U.S. Navy regulation, and the time may soon come for them to be reactivated, upgraded, and once again sail into war.

She is Ready for battle any day she just cage up

Absolutely Stunning and legendary!!! I love the "dazzle" paint job!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

I have visited USS North Carolina several times over the past three decades. Since her in place refit she is a very beatiful warship and presented very well. The USS Alabama is also very well presented. . This coming summer I plan on visiting the USS New Jersey after she returns from dry dock. Been a long time since Ive been aboard her. As an added bonus USS Olympia is right across the Delaware River so I will visit her as well. Also want to pay the Brig USS Niagara in Erie. Going to be an awesome summer !!!

Totally awesome to see these and the history behind them!

Where is this water tower? My 5 year old was asking.

Absolutely gorgeous shots -- sometimes we forget all the cool things in our area - and how they can look from a different perspective!! Thanks for doing this!! 😊

Love this song

Hi It is me Ethan

Her lines are still Beautiful.

When to see the North Carolina in 68 i think..my parents took me to see her..we drove down from Toronto ..what a treat that was for me..just being on a battleship..set in the Captians chair on the bridge..lol..got a light switch cover for my bedroom..with the battleship on it..had it for years

It doesn't look forgotten to me?

The north Carolina is in magnificent condition

The North Carolina is definitely NOT forgotten.

My hometown great to see her on the net i have 8mm film of my younger brother and I visiting back in the 60s we gave back in the day to bring her to Wilmington seen her many times don't forget your true history America thanks dad for my patriotism and love of country i miss you everyday 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🙏

Like a Ship ...what is a Ship or Boat ? Depends on who the Deck Officers are. And so.... What's a Gun ?? There they are !! All sizes.... All in one !! Those are the definition of Guns...thats, that !!

No one's forgotten the North Carolina.

Regarding Christine’s comment about people think they’re going to be young forever, I agree! Tattoos are proof of that!

The Iowa class battle wagons are awesome feats of persuasive power on the 7 seas! Love the color scheme too.

Always loved this song. ❤❤❤❤

The state of North Carolina made a very smart decision, saving this monument for all veterans.

Now, close your eyes and imagine her completely modernized heading towards a contested area ready to lay down some smoke.

My father served aboard her during the war.

When I was little my family lived a few miles from her and visited a few times. I've spent more time visiting as an adult though.
