it. Roberts Plywood has in stock old growth genuine Burma teak that is off
the deck of a battleship. These timbers were felled in the early 1930's.
They were shipped to the Brooklyn Navy Yard in Brooklyn New York and used on

1937.
The North Carolina was one of the first commissioned of the US Navy's modern
battleships. She received so much attention during her fitting out and trials
that she won the enduring nickname "Showboat". North Carolina completed her
shakedown in the Caribbean prior to the Pearl Harbor attack and after
intensive war exercises, she entered the Pacific on June 10th 1942 . The
North Carolina received 15 battle stars for World War II service - more than
any other U.S. battleship during the war.
