Thanks for the ping, Bat_Chemist. My grandfather served on the North Carolina, and was very active with the ship once it got to Wilmington. He was the official chaplain for a long time, and the current captain came to his funeral a few years ago. I wish he'd gotten to see the name handed down.

That’s a great story, thanks for sharing it! Have you been to the battleship North Carolina monument?
