Ashen, yes, they did do one show where they inspected the USS North Carolina. All they found was some 'oddities', but no 'real' ghosts, as I recall. They did mention coming back sometime to follow up.

I love this story... :)

Another motto should be "Strength Through Superior Firepower"

Motto:

Never Forget, Strength Through Sacrifice"

Smorgas, that is funny, in a macabre sort of way. I wonder if they have ever been on the USS North Carolina. I saw on the news they think it is haunted.....

Wizard, I certainly hope so. This ship went through an extensive process to get this name. They have set parameters for ships and what they can be named after. It was only after a long process it was able to be named New York.

Tango, this was circulated in emails a while back as a hoax, showing pictures of another ship. The ship it showed was the sister ship of this one.

This ship will be/is historic already, and can only get better from now on.

"The ship is designed to deliver a fully-equipped battalion of 700 Marines." wiki

yeah!!!!

Very interesting. I didn't know about this ship.

I thought it was amazing to build that ship from the rumble of the Trade Centers. I saw a logo on the bow that reads 'never forget'. Maybe the USS NEW YORK will be able to get a little pay back.

"The shipyard workers reportedly treated it with "reverence usually accorded to religious relics", gently touching it as they walked by.[3]" wiki
