Nevada-Class Battleship

The American Nevada class introduced the all-or-nothing armor concept into the United States battleship line and used oil-fired machinery. Nevada and Oklahoma carried 14-inch guns. Their careers diverged dramatically at Pearl Harbor: Oklahoma capsized, while Nevada was repaired and returned to action. A generic class model therefore represents a design family with very different individual ship histories. All-or-nothing protection concentrated armor around vital areas rather than distributing moderate thickness widely, a major design approach within the American battleship line. Later modernization altered appearance and fighting equipment. The class therefore connects early dreadnought innovation with the very different demands of the Second World War, but each ship’s individual fate remains important to its history.
