The USS Nevada saw the world and multiple combat operations during its three decades of service.
It was severely damaged at Pearl Harbor but later restored to hit German positions during D-Day.
After returning to duty, the Nevada spent the next 11 years operating around the Pacific, and as tensions increased with Japan, the Nevada spent much of 1941 carrying out training exercises in the region.
The USS Nevada burns following the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese military.
Damaged and radioactive, the Nevada survived the tests and returned to Pearl Harbor to be decommissioned later in August.
