USS North Carolina (B55) Pen

[PAbernathy]

I was presented with an award at the 2013 IAEI Southern Section meeting in Wilmington NC. The award was a piece of the original deck boards (TEAK) from the vessel.

It is very special to me...

Commissioned: 9 April 1941
Decommissioned: 27 June 1947
Memorial Dedication : 29 April 1962

This teak is from the original decking removed during the 1994-1997 restoration project.
