After serving as a training vessel for midshipmen, the USS North Carolina Battleship was decommissioned 27 June 1947 and placed in the Inactive Reserve Fleet in Bayonne, New Jersey, for the next 14 years. In 1958 the announcement of her impending scrapping led to a statewide campaign by citizens of North Carolina to save the ship from the scrappers torches and bring her back to her home state. The Save Our Ship (SOS) campaign was successful and the Battleship arrived in her current berth in Wilmington, North Carolina on 2 October 1961. She was dedicated on 29 April 1962 as the State's memorial to its World War II veterans and the 10,000 North Carolinians who died during the war.

What is the Battleship North Carolina?
She's a museum ship in North Carolina. A unique warship, the only battleship in history to have been struck from one salvo of torpedos fired from an I-boat (submarine) that also sank a fleet carrier (USS Wasp) and a destroyer (USS O'Brian, sank later enroute for repairs). North Carolina took the torpedo in her aft end, had some leaks but was repaired. She's the only warship that survived the torpedo spread.
