USS NORTH CAROLINA
BB-55 battleship model

USS North Carolina is the lead ship of the North Carolina class of fast battleships. The historic ship that launched an aircraft using a catapult is located here: ACR-12.

Battleship USS North Carolina is the lead ship of her battleship class. She was the first vessel of the type built for the United States Navy under the Washington Treaty system. USS North Carolina was laid down in 1937 and completed in April 1941, while the United States was still neutral during World War II. BB-55 took part in every major naval offensive in the Pacific war to become the most highly decorated American battleship of World War II, accumulating 15 battle stars.

On 6 September 1961, USS North Carolina was transferred to the state of North Carolina. After her berth was completed, she was formally opened as a museum on 29 April 1962. In 1964, a Kingfisher that had crashed in British Columbia, Canada, during the war and then subsequently salvaged was donated to the museum. The battleship was declared a National Historic Landmark on 10 November 1982. BB-55 is in excellent condition and remained in her wartime configuration.
