There are places which are vague, and then there are objects, and those which are vague. Such is the case with the USS North Carolina. Production on the ship began in 1937, and it was officially commissioned in 1941. that they were killed in the ship, which is not surprising.
The USS North Carolina was sent to Pearl Harbor in 1942 as a morale booster for the sailors stationed there. The Japanese were quite successful in this stage of World WarII, while the American forces were struggling. By sending a ship to the soldiers called the Showboa, it was hoped that it would show the US that they were not going to surrender.
The ship was later moved to the Pacific, where it helped American forces win several battles. His most famous battle was the Battle of the Eastern Solomons in August of 1942. While embarking on the USS North Carolina, he helped sink a Japanese carrier. The battle lasted only eight minutes, but at least 7 Japanese planes were shot down. The US forces advanced further and won the battle.
After this battle the ship Saratoga was sent with a few others to guard the USS. While protecting these ships, the North Carolina suffered a torpedo hit that claimed the lives of six men. She was sent back to Pearl Harbor for some repairs before being put back into action. The ship played a major role in the battles surrounding the Marshall Islands. They protected other ships, fires, strikes, enemy stations, there were few things that would make a magnificent ship in battle.
The USS North Carolina continued to serve in several small battles during WW II. The ship covered other ships and even fought enemy forces. Three more men were lost in combat during the 1943 battle near Okinawa. The ship managed to down three airplanes, but suffered some damage on the day which forced her to return to Pearl Harbor< /a>. Her last role in WW II was bringing back soldiers from Okinawa and serving as a training ship.
After the end of WW II, the USS North Carolina received 15 battle stars. Officially decommissioned in 1947, the ship was sent to North Carolina in 1961 after residents raised $330,000 to buy the ship. The following year it was dedicated to the state’s war memorial and was given National Historic status in 1986.
Stories of ghosts and visitors have existed for years, at least since the ship landed in North Carolina. After closing, the workers could hear odd noises coming from the ship, and whispering sounds inside. There are also televisions and lights that turn on, especially late night. Stories are also told of a spirit that walks through the halls. He is described as a blond man in his late or early twenties.
A second mask was spotted peering out of the portholes. Most of those who saw it with this mind, observed that no one was then killed. Some believe that this ghost is responsible for opening and closing doors and gates on the boat. Others have experienced the cold of the boat, and the sound of clothing when no one was around.
One of the more popular claims is that of people who said they were uncomfortable, disturbed, or sad in parts of the ship. Considering the history and legacy of this ship, those feelings are completely normal. It seems that everyone who visits feels something different.
The USS North Carolina is open for public tours. When you visit, have someone looking at you from the inside.
