U.S.S. Nevada 1941Battleship

USS Nevada was an American battleship that introduced an important combination of oil firing, concentrated heavy armament, and an all-or-nothing armor scheme. In its 1941 configuration, it was present during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and attempted to get underway before being beached. Repaired and extensively modernized, it later supported Allied landings in Europe and the Pacific. The pre-reconstruction appearance should not be confused with its much-altered late-war superstructure and anti-aircraft outfit. At Pearl Harbor, Nevada got underway but was deliberately grounded to avoid blocking the channel if sunk. Salvage and reconstruction allowed the ship to return to service. Its subsequent bombardment assignments demonstrate how an older battleship could contribute heavily to amphibious warfare after aircraft had reshaped its original battle-line environment.
