A co-worker of mine is trying to find a home for a two year old kitty. We’re in southeast North Carolina. If you’re interested or can help spread the word, we’re trying to keep her out of a shelter. Shots are current and she’s spayed as well. #catsofbluesky

Port quarter view of battleship North Carolina (BB-55).
The ship has since undergone extensive restoration of the hull; that “bathtub ring” of corrosion at the waterline has undergone complete replacement of the hull plating. Much of the superstructure and masts have been refurbished as well.
