USS Carolina, a United States Coast Guard vessel, was built at Morehead City, North Carolina, in 1906. In accordance with Federal legislation of 28 January 1915, this ship was automatically transferred to the United States Navy upon United States entry into World War I. There is no record of her ever having performed active duty, and she was returned to the Coast Guard by an order of 28 August 1919.
Famous quotes containing the word carolina:
“The great problem of American life [is] the riddle of authority: the difficulty of finding a way, within a liberal and individualistic social order, of living in harmonious and consecrated submission to something larger than oneself.... A yearning for self-transcendence and submission to authority [is] as deeply rooted as the lure of individual liberation.”
