North Carolina, the Tar Heel state's namesake battleship, was released In connection with the observanc of Navy Day Friday. The 35-000-ton North Carolina was commissioned April 9, 1941, the first of Its class. She sailed for the Pacific war area during the early summer of 1942 under the command of Rear Ad- j mlral (then captain) George H. Fort.' The Carolina's first duty was the support the U. S. Ianadlngs on Gua dalcanal and Tulagl a carrier planes attacked these objectives. Her first taste of real action came August 24, 1942, when the Japanese were turned hack In a major attempt to land reinforcements on Guadal canal. In the battle of the eastern Solomons the Carolina and other sup port vessels helped drive off enemy planes attacking the carrier Enter prise. ' i United States aircraft struck the first blow late In the afternoon, sink ing a carrier and a destroyer of the Japanese invasion fleet. About an ' hour later the enemy planes swarmed j down, attacking the Enterprise In strength. Dive bombers made the1 North Carolina their target, scoring' several near hits and killing one man by strafing. The battleship retaliated by downing six of the attackers and getting several probables. I The North Carolina remained in the Solomons area, engaged in patrolling against enemy surface craft, usually attached to carrier task groups. Dur ing the campaign to secure the New Georgia group she was a part of the covering force which operated under the direct command of Admiral Wil liam F. Halsey, Jr. Her next major action was in the Gilberts when she accompanied a carrier group on an air strike against the Japanese-held atoll of Makin. Moving to the asssault on the other Islands In the group, the battleship shot down two attacking enemy planes and acted as support for landing oper ations In the waters south of Tarawa. She bombarded the mines, the airfield and phosphate mines of Japanese held Nauru island. Early In 1944 the North Carolina acted as support for carriers during an air strike on the enemy base of Kavieng, New Ireland. The North Carolina led the -task force which bombarded the atoll of Kwajalein In advance of the troop landings. On January 29 she sped to the northern end of the atoll to lay down a preliminary barrage. Late that evening she opened fire on an enemy supply ship, setting her afire and sinking her with direct hits from her main and secondary batteries. That night she bombarded an enemy air strip, and the following morning con tinued pounding enemy positions with heavy caliber artillery. Not until February 4 when the is lands were finally secured did the North Carolina .cease her support ac tivities. The big battleship then moved into the captured base of Ma lum. Her subseuent activities have not yet been released by the Navy department. MRS. LILLIAN PRESLAR MANGUM Mrs. Lillian Preslar Mangum, 77, wi dow of the late J. B.
