Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As lead ship of America's first "fast battleship" class, and the US Navy's newest battleship when America entered WWII, the construction of the USS North Carolina was not only a source of encouragement for a depression-wrought nation, but was also a source of pride among a fleet of aging battleships. Earning fifteen Battle Stars, the North Carolina is America's most-decorated battleship, having participated in most of the major campaigns in the Pacific during WWII. This volume documents not only the construction and wartime exploits of this historic vessel, but thoroughly explores the restored vessel, providing a great resource for the armchair historian, a keepsake for those who visit the museum ship, and a superb resource for the detailed model builder. Carefully researched photos, many of which have never before been published, are reproduced in remarkable clarity and put the reader on and beneath the decks of this historic warship. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Launched in 1940, North Carolina was the first U.S. newly built battleship to have taken part in the war in the Pacific. During her busy combat career she demonstrated that battleships could perform very well indeed in their new role as escorts for fleet aircraft carriers and weapon platforms providing fire support for ground troops. Having earned no fewer than 15 Battle Stars during her wartime service, North Carolina was the most highly decorated US Navy battleship of World War II. After decommissioning, she escaped the chopping block and is preserved to this day as a floating museum

Book excerpt: ABSTRACTHULL PRESERVATION: PRESERVATION METHODS AND MANAGEMENT OF THE BATTLESHIP NORTH CAROLINA MEMORIAL, WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINAByJoshua VestalOctober 2020Director: Dr. Nathan RichardsPROGRAM IN MARITIME STUDIES, DEPARTMENT OF HISTORYThe USS North Carolina (BB-55), was the most decorated battleship in the United States Navy during World War II. During its service, the USS North Carolina participated in every major action in the Pacific receiving fifteen battle stars. The ship was decommissioned in 1947 after only six years of service. It was then stricken from the Naval Vessel register in 1960 and was set to be sold for scrap. However, the residents of North Carolina, including thousands of school children, saved the ship from being scrapped and raised enough money to have it towed down the Cape Fear River to Wilmington, NC. It now serves as a memorial to the veterans of North Carolina who served in World War II.After sitting in its berth for decades, the ship began to experience hull deterioration. A project to repair the worst section of the hull (the starboard bow) finally took place in 2011. Now, several other sections need repair. Today, caretakers of USS North Carolina have recently finished installing a permanent cofferdam around the vessel. Repairs to several sections of the ship's hull are currently underway.Utilizing archaeological and cultural resource management approaches, this thesis will discuss the preservation issues that steel-hulled battleship museums face, focusing on the USS North Carolina, as well as the methods for restoring and maintaining the hulls of these ships. It will also analyze methods used to solve these preservation issues, which will allow for better preparation when dealing with similar issues that may arise in more recently converted battleship museums. This thesis will also seek to understand the relationship that battleship museums play in preserving cultural heritage.

Book excerpt: USS North Carolina, a World War II battleship, which received 12 battle stars during its career, was turned into a memorial and museum in 1961 after it was decommissioned. Since then, the museum has told the story of World War II and life on the "Showboat" through exhibits and displays of World War II artifacts and paraphernalia. Often, museums house a much larger collection than they can display; the North Carolina Memorial is no exception. In its collection, the museum houses everything from the fanciest silver to the most innocuous papers. Many of the more ordinary objects can help tell stories of war and life to which the visitors can easily connect. This thesis focuses on part of North Carolina's story through the voices of the sailors using three "mundane" artifacts. The object biographies of seemingly unrelated objects -- in this case the Kingfisher sea sled, a vertical plotting board, and a stretcher -- showcase elements of construction, technological improvement, and inferred value. Additionally, events and people connect these seemingly unrelated artifacts. Ultimately, mundane artifacts can be related to each other and to stories shared to provide a holistic and relatable history.
