1. When WWII Came to North Carolina

2. Why was NC a Target? Majority of US Fleet was located in the Pacific
WWII off the Coast of North Carolina
Majority of US Fleet was located in the Pacific
Shipping lanes – merchant ships carrying vital items to the Allies
Cape Hatteras – close to coast, but not too close to Navy & military bases
U-Boats were easily able to hide in deeper water near the shipping lanes
Once coastal black outs were enforced, this threat diminished some

Answer questions that go along with reading
