Historical background: USS North Carolina (BB-55) and USS Washington (BB-56) are North Carolina-class battleships that entered service with the US Navy between 1941 and 1942. Both ships were actively used during the Pacific campaign, participated in the Guadalcanal operations, and provided carrier escort during the toughest battles at the end of World War II. The 406 mm guns were the main armament of these vessels and remain among the best-recognized symbols of American naval power in the 1940s.
