This 30 caliber bolt action ballpoint was crafted from the teak wood deck from the USS North Carolina Battleship. The fittings on this pen are antique brass fittings. The writing tip of this pen is extended and retracted by manipulating the bolt action on the side of the pen. The USS North Carolina (BB-55)(nicknamed showboat) was the lead ship of North Carolina Class battleships and the fourth warship in the US Navy to be named in honor of the state of North Carolina. She was the first newly constructed American battleship to enter service during World War II, and she took part in every major naval offensive in the Pacific area of operations to become the most highly decorated American battleship of World War II, accumulating 15 battle stars. The USS North Carolina, decommissioned in June 1947, is now a museum ship and the memorial kept at the seaport of Wilmington, NC. The Teak used for this pen was part of the original deck that was replaced after more than 70 years of service.
