Abstract:

The USS North Carolina was one of the most famous fighting ships of World War II. Now it is moored in Wilmington as a memorial to those who served during the war. Corrosion on the hull has been discovered, and Taylor Brothers Marine Construction Inc. of Beaufort has been hired to remove it. The first phase will cost $2.1 million with another $15 million to follow.
