USS Nevada is an iconic ship that speaks to American Resilience and stubbornness." - Dr. James Delgado. Launched towards the end of WW I and called "The greatest battleship afloat" by the New York Times on October 6, 1915, the USS Nevada rose from the ashes of Pearl Harbor to see action in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters and was awarded 7 Battle Stars for WW II.Nicknamed "The Ship that wouldn't sink", the Nevada was revolutionary in its design at the time of it's commissioning in March 1916 and was one of eight battleships present at Pearl Harbor the morning of December 7, 1941, and the only one to get underway during the attack. A crewman aboard would be awarded the first Medal of Honor during WW II. The Nevada would see action at Attu Island off the coast of the Territory of Alaska, again during the Normandy Invasion of D-Day and later during Operation DRAGOON in Southern France. Later she saw combat in the Pacific, off Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Following the war, Nevada had a brief stint of occupation duty in Tokyo Bay, then survived two tests of the Atomic bomb only to be sunk as a target ship 65 miles southwest of Pearl Harbor on July 31, 1948. Even then, she was difficult to sink. This is the story of the ship, her captains, her crew and her rendezvous with history
