Charlie

'Charlie' is the USS Lexington's friendly ghost — the sailor in WWII-era dress reported in the engine room and on the hangar deck, often described as helpful to lost visitors. The museum promotes him openly; attached by lore to the ship's wartime dead, he's the Blue Ghost's mascot spirit. The report keeps its place in the record.

'Charlie' is the USS North Carolina's resident ghost — the figure in the mess decks and the voices below, attached by lore to the five crewmen killed by the 1942 torpedo. The overnight program has logged decades of reports concentrated in the forward compartments. The mess decks are where he's met. The vessel's reports concentrate where the work was hardest — ships and lights keep their own roll call. Sources including 'USS North Carolina (BB-55)' keep the claim in circulation. Named presences persist where anonymous reports fade — the file's name here is Charlie.
