Upcoming Events at USS NORTH CAROLINA Battleship
Description
The Battleship is a floating weapons platform, but the finest guns are of little use without the means to direct their fire accurately at the target.
Event Details
Program presenters will discuss the various types of fire control equipment (directors/optical range finders, radar, computers) and how main and secondary battery plotting rooms, fire control tower, gun turrets, fire control directors and the combat information center operated to fight the ship effectively. After a brief classroom presentation, participants will be off with small groups to examine the equipment and spaces with experts.
The program is for adults only (ages 16 and up) and limited to 32 participants. It is not appropriate for those who have difficulty climbing narrow ladders or over knee-high hatches. Wear warm, comfortable, washable clothing, sturdy, rubber-soled shoes and bring a camera! Registration and payment are due Thursday before the event.
$50 per person. $45 for Friends members or active military.
