Both the USS Nevada (BB-36) and her sister ship USS Oklahoma were sunk at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Unlike the Oklahoma, which was scrapped, the Nevada was repaired, refitted and returned to service. The BB-36 provided excellent service during the invasion of France and also in the Pacific, supporting the amphibious landings on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. By the end of the war, the Nevada was obsolete, but survived the nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll during Operation Crossroads. She was finally scuttled as a training target in 1948. This expanded 176-page entry in the series "Legends of Warfare. Naval" series contains 350 images. The photos, tables and accompanying text show the ship during construction and during her service in both world wars.
