Description

North Carolina was commissioned in April 1941 as the nameship of the North Carolina class battleships with three 40.6 cm three-barrel main guns.

After her commissioning, she entered the Atlantic Ocean with the same type of ship, Washington.

In 1942, she was deployed to the Pacific Ocean, where she demonstrated her gunnery ability in the counterinsurgency operations in the area of Guadalcanal Island in August, but was damaged by a thunderbolt from the submarine I-19 near Espirissant Island in September, and was forced to retreat to Pearl Harbor for repairs.

In November 1943, she returned to the front and participated in almost all operations against Japan.
