BB-55, USS North Carolina. She rests peacefully in Wilmington, NC. IIRC, part of the display is fragments of the torpedo she took in 1942.

Hooniverse said: William “Wild Bill” Gelbke built the Roaddog without plan or blueprint, but with a lifetime bent as a tinkerer, and a spare Chevy Nova drivetrain. An engineer at McDonnel Douglas, he had the know-how, but as evidenced by the end result, lacked a proper sense of proportion or restraint. Regardless, the Roaddog may be the most insane street-worthy motorcycle ever built.
