U.S.S. Pennsylvania 1941Battleship

USS Pennsylvania was the lead ship of an American battleship class built before United States entry into the First World War. Her long career included modernization that altered her protection, superstructure, and defensive equipment. During the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, she was in dry dock rather than moored on Battleship Row. She survived and returned to operations, providing gunfire support during later Pacific campaigns. A Japanese aerial torpedo badly damaged her near Okinawa in August 1945. Her sister Arizona was destroyed at Pearl Harbor, giving the closely related ships sharply different wartime histories. Pennsylvania’s career spans the transition from dreadnought fleet service to amphibious fire support.
