| Scope and content |
This collection includes materials pertaining to Herbert E. Weyrauch's experiences at the U.S. Naval Academy and aboard the U.S.S. North Carolina. Manuals and memorandum describe daily life at the U.S. Naval Academy, including Weyrauch's involvement in various extracurricular activities. Memorandums from the Navy Department in 1942 concern inadvertent disclosures of naval information and censorship of mail, while news dispatches from the U.S.S. North Carolina Radio Press News and the U.S.S. North Carolina Morning Press give information about the war effort in other parts of the world, the ship's daily schedules, crossing the line, encouragement from the officers, and news of the crew's activities. A roster of officers giving duty assignments reflects Weyrauch's assignments to the U.S.S. North Carolina. |
