NorCal != North Carolina
Seriously, who started calling the North Carolina the NorCal? Every time hear someone say it I think, "do you even know what you are saying?"

Sure, but what two syllable abbreviation should one use instead?
EDIT: NC. Durr. Kids, this is why you don't post to Reddit before your morning coffee.

I have the same reaction to people calling the North Carolina the NorCal as when I hear people saying the word "nucular." :)

You asked why people started calling her that. I gave you an answer. "NorCal" sounds better than "NorCar", though "NoCar" does have potential.
In any case, you ain't gonna change this one.

I never hold my breathe of things like this. Once something takes root in terms of nicknames, its there for the duration.

How many Reddit accounts do you think I have? :)

The obvious answer to your question is I didn't look at the account name when I made my reply. When I recognized my error after u/Vermigs replied, I thought it so inconsequential that addressing it wasn't necessary.

Yeah, you'd hate to confuse the USS North Carolina for the USS Northern California. ^^^/s

If California ever splits into two states you're going to feel really stupid. /s

Only if they then subsequently build a warship named after it. :D

It's been so widely used at this point you might as well give in.
Even though NorCal stands for North California.

Fortunately there never was a warship named the Northern California, so I think we're ok. :-P

Dont underestimate WG, they will make the North California a special-event ship :D

It'll just be the forward half of the USS California. If you ever stop moving or try to reverse in it you immediately start taking flooding damage. :-P

Uh, we just found the nerf to BBs :D

Considering you don't explain what else NorCal is... And yes, I know what it is. I just don't care.

That's why I call it the NCal. jk

NorCal is too long, I abbreviate with NC or Ncal

I just refer to NCs as "dumbass" or something to that degree in-game. 90% of the time, that's how they act anyways, so it works.

NorCal = Northern California.
NC= North Carolina

should we call her NaCl instead maybe?
Now you're just getting salty.
Doesn't that stand for players whose ships get detonated?
