Abstract:

During World War II, North Carolina had a strong military and industrial presence. The state also became a major combat zone, with more Allied ships and German submarines sunk off its coast than anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere. Naval operations at the Coast Artillery in Holly Ridge made a dramatic contribution to national defense.
