The Nevada-class battleships were the United States Navy's first battleship design equipped with triple gun turrets (the Coloradoclass would be the last to carry twin turrets, armed with dual-mounted 16-inch guns), as well as introducing the "all or nothing" armor scheme in American capital ship design, in which protection of vital areas was optimized against heavy caliber guns, leaving other parts of the ship essentially unprotected. The Nevadas also introduced completely oil-fired propulsion. In armament, armor, and propulsion the Nevada class represented a considerable evolution in battleship design and, in being designed specifically to fight at extreme gunnery ranges, was actually well ahead of its time. They would be followed by the Pennsylvania-classbattleships. Two ships of this class were constructed: Nevada(BB-36) and Oklahoma(BB-37).
The Nevadas were the first Standard-type battleships produced by the U.S. Navy Along with the Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Tennessee and Colorado classes, the standard type offered a battle line of vessels homogeneous in long-range gunnery, speed, tactical radius and damage control. The essential characteristics of the standard type were oil fuel, "all or nothing" armor, the arrangement of the main battery into four turrets, and significant deck armor providing protection against shells fired from long range. This combination of features made the Nevadas the prototype of the modern battleship. For example, the protection of the standard class battleships was not significantly revised after the Battle of Jutland, while other Navies tended to have different pre- and post-Jutland designs.

During the early hours of December 7, 1941, the crew of USS Nevada, one of the two colossal Nevada-class battleships from the US Navy, was playing Morning Colors.
Soon, dozens of Japanese aircraft poured down from the sky and began bombing Pearl Harbor with devastating effects. Nevada, the only ship that was not moored, immediately began to maneuver to get out of harm's way and counterattack.
As the crew began to fend off the enemy fighters with accurate anti-aircraft fire, several bombs and one torpedo hit her. Despite the critical flooding and the subsequent fires, Nevada and her crew kept fighting back until the ship was beached and began to sink.

USS Nevada | The Ship that wouldn't quit
The USS Nevada (BB-36) was the lead ship of her class of battleships, notable for being the only battleship to get underway during the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. She served through both World Wars, surviving not only naval combat but also atomic bomb tests in 1946 before finally being decommissioned and used as a target ship in 1948. #USSNevada #Battleship #PearlHarbor #WWII #NavalHistory #SurvivorShip #Warship #Dreadnought #USNavy #MilitaryHistory #HistoricShip #VeteranVessel #WarVeteran #AtomicTest #BikiniAtoll #NavyLegends #MaritimeMuseum #ShipRestoration #Seaworthy #HeritageAtSea #war #battle #history #okinawa #iwojima #dday #normany #survivor #pearlharbor #pearlharborattack #sunkenship #nucleartests #bikiniatoll #ww1 #worldatwarshorts #worldwar1 #worldwar2 #ww2 #usmilitaryhistory...

On May 11th 2020, an important historical discovery concerning the United States’ military history was announced that went largely unnoticed by the wider public because of the Covid-19 pandemic that is wreaking havoc across the globe. SEARCH Inc, the largest underwater and terrestrial archaeology firm in the United States working in collaboration with underwater robotics company Ocean Infinity, announced the discovery of the wreck of the American battleship USS Nevada BB-36 almost 72 years after the warship was sunk as a target. However, no one should mistake such an inglorious end to the ship’s life as a reflection on its time in service with the US Navy. On the contrary, few ships can claim to have had such a glorious career rising to the challenges put before it and playing an instrumental role in helping the US Navy modernise to meet the challenges of 20th century naval combat. This is the story of the legend of the ship the enemy simply could not sink.

The Nevada-class battleships were the United States Navy's first battleship design equipped with triple gun turrets (the Coloradoclass would be the last to carry twin turrets, armed with dual-mounted 16-inch guns), as well as introducing the "all or nothing" armor scheme in American capital ship design, in which protection of vital areas was optimized against heavy caliber guns, leaving other parts of the ship essentially unprotected.

In armament, armor, and propulsion the Nevada class represented a considerable evolution in battleship design and, in being designed specifically to fight at extreme gunnery ranges, was actually well ahead of its time. They would be followed by the Pennsylvania-classbattleships. Two ships of this class were constructed: Nevada(BB-36) and Oklahoma(BB-37).
The Nevadas were the first Standard-type battleships produced by the U.S. Navy Along with the Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Tennessee and Colorado classes, the standard type offered a battle line of vessels homogeneous in long-range gunnery, speed, tactical radius and damage control. The essential characteristics of the standard type were oil fuel, "all or nothing" armor, the arrangement of the main battery into four turrets, and significant deck armor providing protection against shells fired from long range. This combination of features made the Nevadas the prototype of the modern battleship. For example, the protection of the standard class battleships was not significantly revised after the Battle of Jutland, while other Navies tended to have different pre- and post-Jutland designs.
