Which BB has a name associated with "north"? The new foreign one or the old one getting a kai2?

If the former, then almost definitely North Carolina. North Dakota is second-in-class, and the "no glasses" quip might refer to the new BB not being a younger sister.

If the latter, then Mutsu. She's named after the northernmost province of Japan before the formal annexation of Hokkaido in 1869 (after which Kitami became northernmost). Mutsu is also the colloquial name for the region now known as Tohoku (lit. northeast). All the remaining BBs with no K2 are named after central and southern provinces.
