He writes: "Captain Blee's long personal association with the USS NORTH CROLINA, coupled with the extensive research he has conducted into the ship's history, uniquely qualify him to author this book. I commend it, not only as an authentic and historically accurate documentary, but also as good reading for anyine interested in barttleships, the U. S. Navy, or the sea. " .Captain Blee writes: "Although the NORTH CAROLINA, herself, is at all times the central character of this book, I hope you will understand that always she is but the instrument and symbol of thousands of officers and men in a wide variety of roles, who endured, agonized and exalted with her, and made all her victories possible.
