'''USS ''Nevada'' (BB-36)''', the third [[United States Navy]] ship to be named after the [[Nevada|36th state]], was the [[lead ship]] of the two {{sclass|Nevada|battleship}}s. Launched in 1914, ''Nevada'' was a leap forward in [[dreadnought]] technology; four of her new features would be included on almost every subsequent US battleship: triple gun turrets,{{efn|name=triple turrets debut}} oil in place of coal for fuel, geared [[steam turbine#marine propulsion|steam turbines]] for greater range, and the "[[All or nothing (armor)|all or nothing]]" armor principle. These features made ''Nevada'', alongside her [[sister ship]] {{USS|Oklahoma|BB-37|2}}, the first US Navy [[standard-type battleship|"standard-type"]] battleships.

''Nevada'' served in both World Wars. During the last few months of [[World War I]], ''Nevada'' was based in [[Bantry Bay|Bantry Bay, Ireland]], to protect supply [[convoy]]s that were sailing to and from [[Great Britain]]. In [[World War II]], she was one of the battleships trapped when the [[Attack on Pearl Harbor|Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor]]. ''Nevada'' was the only battleship to get underway during the attack, making the ship "the only bright spot in an otherwise dismal and depressing morning" for the United States.{{sfn|Bonner|1996|p=101}} Still, the ship was hit by one [[torpedo]] and at least six bombs while steaming away from [[Battleship Row]], forcing the crew to [[Beach (nautical)|beach]] the stricken ship on a coral ledge. The ship continued to flood and eventually slid off the ledge and sank to the harbor floor.<ref>{{Cite book|title=US Battleships – An Illustrated Design History|last=Friedman|first=Norman|publisher=Naval Institute Press|year=2016|isbn=978-1-59114-247-8|location=Annapolis, Maryland|pages=416}}</ref> ''Nevada'' was subsequently salvaged and modernized at [[Puget Sound Navy Yard]], allowing her to serve as a convoy escort in the Atlantic and as a fire-support ship in five amphibious assaults (the invasions of [[Battle of Attu|Attu]], [[Normandy Landings|Normandy]], [[Operation Dragoon|Southern France]], [[Battle of Iwo Jima|Iwo Jima]], and [[Battle of Okinawa|Okinawa]]).

At the end of World War II, the Navy decided that, due to age, ''Nevada'' would not be retained as part of the active fleet and she was instead assigned as a [[target ship]] for the atomic experiments at [[Bikini Atoll]] in July 1946 ([[Operation Crossroads]]). The ship was hit by the blast from [[atomic bomb]] Able, and was left heavily damaged and radioactive. Unfit for further service, ''Nevada'' was decommissioned on 29 August 1946, and sunk for naval gunfire practice on 31 July 1948, in Operation Crossroads.

[[File:USS Nevada (BB-36) specs.jpg|thumb|left|Division of Naval Intelligence identification sheet depicting ''Nevada'' after her 1942 repair and modernization]]

As the first second-generation battleship in the US Navy, ''Nevada'' has been described as "revolutionary"{{sfn|Morison|Polmar|2003|p=63}}{{sfn|Gardiner|Gray|1985|p=115}} and "as radical as {{HMS|Dreadnought|1906|2}} was in her day"{{sfn|Worth|2002|p=290}} by present-day historians. At the time of the ship's completion in 1916,{{efn|name=drydock}} ''[[The New York Times]]'' remarked that the new warship was "the greatest [battleship] afloat"{{sfn|''New York Times'' 16 October 1915}} because she was so much larger than other contemporary American battleships: her [[displacement (ship)|displacement]] was nearly three times that of the obsolete 1890 [[Pre-dreadnought battleship|pre-dreadnought]] {{USS|Oregon|BB-3|2}}, almost twice that of the 1904 battleship {{USS|Connecticut|BB-18|2}}, and almost {{convert|8000|LT|t|0|abbr=on}} greater than that of one of the first American [[dreadnought]]s, {{USS|Delaware|BB-28|2}}—built just seven years prior to ''Nevada''.{{sfn|''New York Times'' 16 October 1915}}

''Nevada'' was the first battleship in the US Navy to have triple [[gun turret]]s,{{sfn|Morison|Polmar|2003|p=63}}{{sfn|GlobalSecurity BB-36 Nevada Class}} a single funnel,{{sfn|''New York Times'' 19 September 1915, p. 9}} and an oil-fired steam power plant.{{sfn|''New York Times'' 16 October 1915}}{{sfn|NHC Nevada Class (BB-36 and BB-37), 1912 Building Program}} In particular, the use of the more-efficient oil gave the ship an advantage over earlier [[coal-fired]] plants.{{sfn|Bonner|1996|p=101}} ''Nevada'' was also the first US battleship with [[steam turbine#marine propulsion|geared turbines]], which also helped increase fuel economy and thus range compared to earlier [[direct drive turbine]]s. The ability to steam great distances without refueling was a major concern of the [[General Board of the United States Navy|General Board]] at that time. In 1903, the Board felt all American battleships should have a minimum steaming radius of {{convert|6000|nmi|km|abbr=on}}<!--fixed this mi to nmi--> so that the US could enforce the [[Monroe Doctrine]]. One of the main purposes of the [[Great White Fleet]], which sailed around the world in 1907–1908, was to prove to Japan that the US Navy could "carry any naval conflict into Japanese home waters". Possibly as a result of this, battleships after 1908 were mainly designed to "steam 8,000&nbsp;miles at cruising speeds"; given the distance between [[San Pedro, Los Angeles|San Pedro]], where the fleet would be based, and [[Manila]], where the Fleet was expected to have to fight under [[War Plan Orange]], was {{convert|6550|nmi|mi km|abbr=on}},{{sfn|Prange|Goldstein|Dillon|1991|p=217}} endurance was obviously a major concern for the U.S. Navy.{{sfn|Hone|Friedman|1981|p=59}}{{sfn|Friedman|1985|p=104}} Also, oil allowed for the boiler-room crew to be reduced{{sfn|Gardiner|Gray|1985|p=1156}}—the engineer on ''Delaware'' estimated that 100 [[fireman (steam engine)|firemen]] (stokers) and 112 coal passers could be adequately replaced by just 24 men, which would allow some crew's quarters to be eliminated; this would save weight and also reduce the amount of fresh water and provisions that the ship would have to carry.{{sfn|Friedman|1985|pp=104–105}}

In addition to all of this, ''Nevada'' had maximum armor over critical areas, such as the magazines and engines, and none over less important places, even though previous battleships had armor of varying thickness depending on the importance of the area it was protecting. This radical change became known as the "[[All or Nothing (armor)|all or nothing]]" principle, which most major navies later adopted for their own battleships.{{sfn|GlobalSecurity BB-36 Nevada Class}}{{sfn|NHC Nevada Class (BB-36 and BB-37), 1912 Building Program}}{{sfn|Bonner|1996|p=102}} With this new armor scheme, the armor on the battleship was increased to 41.1% of the displacement.{{sfn|Friedman|1978|pp=166–167}}

As a result of all of these design modifications from previous battleships, ''Nevada'' was the first of the [[US Navy]]'s [[standard-type battleship|"Standard"]] type battleships.{{sfn|Worth|2002|pp=289–290}} "Standards" were characterized by the use of oil fuel, the "all or nothing" armor scheme, and the arrangement of the main armament in four triple or twin turrets without any turrets located in the middle of the ship.{{sfn|Friedman|1985|p=101}} The Navy was to create a fleet of modern battleships similar in long-range gunnery, speed, turning radius, and protection. ''Nevada'' was followed by 11 other battleships of this type, although significant improvements were made in subsequent designs as naval technology rapidly progressed. An additional seven standard type battleships ({{USS|Washington|BB-47}} and the six of the {{sclass|South Dakota|battleship|4||1920}}) were never completed due to the [[Washington Naval Treaty]].

The two battleships of the ''Nevada'' class were virtually identical except in their propulsion. ''Nevada'' and her sister were fitted with different engines to compare the two, putting them 'head-to-head': ''Oklahoma'' received older [[vertical triple expansion]] engines, which had proven more fuel-efficient and reliable than the direct drive turbines of some earlier battleships, while ''Nevada'' received geared Curtis steam turbines.{{efn|name=Curtis turbine}}{{sfn|Cox|1916}}{{sfn|''New York Times'' 23 October 1915}}

== Construction and trials ==

[[File:USS Nevada (BB-36) during running trials.jpg|thumb|''Nevada'' during her [[Shakedown cruise|running trials]] in early 1916]]
''Nevada''{{'}}s construction was authorized by an [[Act of Congress]] on 4 March 1911. The contract went to [[Fore River Shipbuilding Company]] on 22 January 1912, for a total of $5,895,000 (not including the armor and armament), and the time of construction was originally to be 36 months. A secondary contract was signed on 31 July 1912, for $50,000 to cover the additional cost of a geared cruising unit on each propeller shaft; this also extended the planned construction time by five months.{{sfn|Cox|1916}} Her [[keel]] was laid down on 4 November 1912, and by 12 August 1914, the ship was 72.4% complete.{{sfn|''New York Times'' 5 November 1915, p. 8}} ''Nevada'' was [[Ship launching|launched]] on 11 July 1914; she was sponsored by Miss Eleanor Anne Seibert, niece of Governor [[Tasker Oddie]] of [[Nevada]] and a descendant of the first [[Secretary of the Navy]], [[Benjamin Stoddert]].{{sfn|DANFS Nevada (BB-36)}}{{sfn|''New York Times'' 12 July 1914}} The launch was attended by several prominent members of the government, including Governor Oddie, Governor [[David I. Walsh]] of Massachusetts, Senator [[Key Pittman]] of Nevada, Secretary of the Navy [[Josephus Daniels]] and [[Assistant Secretary of the Navy]] [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]],{{sfn|''New York Times'' 12 July 1914}} who would later become the 32nd President of the United States.

''Nevada'' then had to undergo many different tests and trials prior to her commissioning to ensure that she met the terms of the original contract. These began on 4 November 1915, when the ship conducted a twelve-hour endurance run "up and down the New England coast", reaching a top speed of {{convert|21.4|kn|mph km/h|abbr=on}}.{{sfn|''New York Times'' 5 November 1915, p. 14}} Though her "acceptance trials" were interrupted on 5 November, because of a gale and rough seas, they were continued on the 6th with a test of her fuel economy; this consisted of a 24-hour run where ''Nevada'' steamed at {{convert|10|kn|mph km/h|abbr=on}}.{{sfn|''New York Times'' 7 November 1915}} The test results were positive: the oil consumption of the battlewagon was 6&nbsp;lb per knot lower than the contract had demanded. Another test was conducted for 12 hours at {{convert|15|kn|mph km/h|abbr=on}}, with an even better result of 10&nbsp;lb per knot lower than the contract specifications.{{sfn|''New York Times'' 10 November 1915}} After completing all of these tests and running trials off [[Rockland, Maine]],{{sfn|''New York Times'' 19 September 1915, p. 9}} ''Nevada'' sailed to the [[Boston Navy Yard|Boston]] and [[New York Navy Yard]]s for equipment, [[torpedo tubes]], and ammunition hoists.{{sfn|''New York Times'' 8 November 1915}} When all of the preliminaries were completed, ''Nevada'' was [[Ship commissioning|commissioned]] on 11 March 1916, at the [[Charlestown Navy Yard]], and [[William Sims|William S. Sims]] was the first [[Captain (naval)|captain]] of the new ship,{{sfn|''New York Times'' 19 September 1915, p. 12}} followed by [[Joseph Strauss (admiral)|Joseph Strauss]] on 30 December 1916.<ref name="navyHeritage">{{Cite web|title=Nevada II (Battleship No. 36)|url=https://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/ship-histories/danfs/n/nevada-ii.html|access-date=10 March 2023|website=Naval History and Heritage Command|language=en-US}}</ref>

== World War I ==
[[File:USS Nevada (BB-36) during WWI.jpg|thumb|The stern of ''Nevada'' during WWI]]

After fitting out in the Boston and New York Navy Yards, ''Nevada'' joined the [[United States Fleet Forces Command|Atlantic Fleet]] in [[Newport, Rhode Island]] on 26 May 1916. Prior to the United States' entry into [[World War I]], she conducted many training cruises and underwent many exercises out of her base in [[Norfolk, Virginia]], sailing as far south as the Caribbean on these cruises.{{sfn|Bonner|1996|p=102}} The US entered the war in April 1917, but ''Nevada'' was not sent to the other side of the Atlantic because of a shortage of fuel oil in Britain.{{sfn|Miller|1997|p=185}} Instead, four [[coal-fired]] battleships of [[United States Battleship Division Nine (World War I)|Battleship Division 9]] ([[BatDiv]] 9) ({{USS|Delaware|BB-28|2}}, {{USS|Florida|BB-30|2}}, {{USS|Wyoming|BB-32|2}}, and {{USS|New York|BB-34|2}}) departed the US to join the [[British Grand Fleet]] on 25 November 1917. They arrived on 7 December and were designated as the [[6th Battle Squadron (United Kingdom)|6th Battle Squadron]] of the Grand Fleet.{{sfn|DANFS Delaware (BB-28)}}{{sfn|DANFS Florida (BB-30)}}{{sfn|DANFS Wyoming (BB-32)}}{{sfn|DANFS New York (BB-34)}} {{USS|Texas|BB-35|2}} joined them after damage from a [[ship grounding|grounding]] on [[Block Island]] was repaired; she departed on 30 January, and arrived in Scotland on 11 February.{{sfn|DANFS Texas (BB-35)}} It was not until 13 August 1918, that ''Nevada'', then under command of [[Andrew T. Long]] {{small|(14 February 1918 – 14 October 1918)}},<ref name="navyHeritage"/> left the US for Britain,{{sfn|DANFS Nevada (BB-36)}} becoming the last American ship to join the Fleet overseas.{{sfn|''New York Times'' 27 December 1918}}

After a 10-day voyage, she arrived in [[Castletownbere|Berehaven]], Ireland, on 23 August.{{sfn|DANFS Nevada (BB-36)}} Along with {{USS|Utah|BB-31|2}} and her sister {{USS|Oklahoma|BB-37|2}}, the three were nicknamed the "[[Bantry Bay]] Squadron";{{sfn|Venzon|Miles|1999|p=755}} officially, they were [[Battleship Division Six]] (BatDiv 6) under the command of [[Rear admiral (United States)|Rear Admiral]] [[Thomas S.

On 13 December 10 battleships, including ''Nevada'',{{efn|name=other nine}} and 28 destroyers escorted the ocean liner {{SS|George Washington||2}}, with president [[Woodrow Wilson]] embarked, into [[Brest, France]], during the last day of Wilson's journey to the country so he could attend the [[Paris Peace Conference, 1919|Paris Peace Conference]].

=== Attack on Pearl Harbor ===
{{Main|Attack on Pearl Harbor}}

On 6 December 1941, a Saturday, all of the Pacific Fleet's battleships were in port for the weekend for the first time since 4 July. Normally, they took turns spending time in port: six would be out with Vice Admiral William S. Pye's battleship Task Force One one weekend, while the next weekend would find three ranging with Vice Admiral [[William Halsey, Jr.]]'s aircraft carrier task force. However, because Halsey could not afford to take the slow battleships with his fast carriers on his dash to reinforce [[Wake Island]]'s Marine detachment with fighters and because it was Pye's turn to rest in port and the harbor was where it was considered safe, none of the battleships were sailing on that morning.{{sfn|Lord|2001|pp=1–2}} When the sun rose over ''Nevada'' on the 7th, the ship's band was playing "Morning Colors"; but planes then appeared on the horizon and the [[attack on Pearl Harbor]] began.<ref>{{cite web |title=History of the Pacific Fleet Band |url=http://www.cpf.navy.mil/pages/band/history.htm |publisher=U.S. Navy (Pacific Fleet) |year=2002 |access-date=13 October 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020202153340/http://www.cpf.navy.mil/pages/band/history.htm |archive-date=2 February 2002}}</ref>

Aft of ''Arizona'' during the attack, ''Nevada'' was not moored alongside another battleship off [[Ford Island]], and therefore was able to maneuver, unlike the other seven battleships present.{{efn|name=BBrow moorings}}{{sfn|DANFS Nevada (BB-36)}} Commanding officer Francis W. Scanland {{small|(4 June 1941 – 15 December 1941)}},<ref name="navyHeritage"/> was ashore when the attack began. The Officer of the Deck, Ensign [[Joseph K. Taussig Jr.|Joe Taussig]] (son of the [[Joseph Taussig|admiral of the same name]]), had earlier that morning ordered a second boiler lit off, planning to switch the power load from one boiler to the other around 0800. As ''Nevada's'' gunners opened fire and her engineers started to raise steam, a single {{convert|18|in|mm|abbr=on}} [[Type 91 torpedo|Type 91 Mod 2]]{{sfn|Fitzsimons|1978|p=1982}} [[torpedo]] exploded against Frame 41 about {{convert|14|ft|m|abbr=on}} above the keel at 0810.{{sfn|Wallin|1968|p=212}} Seconds later, the same [[Nakajima B5N|Kate torpedo bomber]] that dropped the torpedo was shot down by ''Nevada''{{'}}s gunners. The torpedo [[Bulkhead (partition)|bulkhead]] held, but leaking through joints caused flooding of port side compartments below the first platform deck between frames 30 and 43 and a [[List (watercraft)|list]] of 4–5°.{{sfn|Wallin|1968|p=212}} Her damage control crew corrected the list by counter-flooding and ''Nevada'' got underway at 0840,{{sfn|Wallin|1968|p=212}} her gunners already having shot down four planes.{{sfn|Scanland|1941}}  Ensign Taussig's efficiency paid off, likely saving his ship, but he lost a leg in the attack.

''Nevada'' became a prime target for Japanese [[Aichi D3A|Val dive bombers]] during the second wave. Japanese pilots intended to sink her in the channel, ostensibly to block the harbor.{{sfn|Prange|Goldstein|Dillon|1991|p=536}} This was poor target selection on the part of the pilots; she could not be sunk by 14–18 dive bombers attacking with 250&nbsp;kg bombs{{sfn|Zimm|2011|pp=202–203}} and the channel's width of 1200 feet made bottling up the harbor impossible.{{sfn|Zimm|2011|pp=322–323}} As she steamed past Ten-Ten Dock{{efn|name=Ten-Ten}} at about 09:50, ''Nevada'' was struck by five bombs. One exploded over the crew's galley at Frame 80. Another struck the port director platform and exploded at the base of the stack on the upper deck. Yet another hit near No. 1 turret inboard from the port waterway and blew large holes in the upper and main decks. Two struck the [[forecastle]] near Frame 15; one passed out through the side of the second deck before exploding, but the other exploded within the ship near the gasoline tank; leakage and vapors from this tank caused intense fires around the ship.{{sfn|Wallin|1968|p=212}}

The gasoline fires that flared up around Turret 1 might have caused more critical damage if the main [[Magazine (artillery)#Naval magazines|magazines]] had not been empty. For several days prior to the attack, all of the 14-inch-gun (356&nbsp;mm) battleships had been replacing their standard-weight main battery projectiles with a new heavier projectile that offered greater penetration and a larger explosive charge in exchange for a slight decrease in range. All of the older projectiles and powder charges had been removed from the magazines of ''Nevada'', and the crew had taken a break after loading the new projectiles in anticipation of loading the new powder charges on Sunday.<ref name="proceedings">Sabin, L. A., Vice Admiral, USN. "Comment and Discussion", ''United States Naval Institute Proceedings'', September 1973, 97.</ref>

[[File:Photograph of the USS Nevada beached at Hospital Point after the attack on Pearl Harbor - NARA - 306548.jpg|thumb|''Nevada'' beached at Hospital Point]]
As bomb damage became evident, ''Nevada'' was ordered to proceed to the west side of Ford Island to prevent her from sinking in deeper water. Instead, she was grounded off Hospital Point at 10:30,{{sfn|Wallin|1968|pp=212–213}} with the help of {{ship||Hoga|YT-146|2}} and {{USS|Avocet|AVP-4|2}},{{sfn|NHHC USS Nevada during the Pearl Harbor Attack (Part II)}} though she managed to force down three more planes before she struck the shore.{{sfn|Scanland|1941}} Gasoline fires prevented damage control parties from containing flooding forward of the main torpedo defense system. Flooding the main magazine and counterflooding to keep the ship stable lowered the bow allowing water to enter the ship at the second deck level. Lack of watertight subdivision between the second and main decks from frame 30 to frame 115 allowed water entering through bomb holes in the forecastle to flow aft through the ship's ventilation system to flood the dynamo and boiler rooms.<ref>{{cite journal|author1-link=Thomas C.

Over the course of the morning, ''Nevada'' suffered a total of 60 killed and 109 wounded.{{sfn|DANFS Nevada (BB-36)}} Two more men died aboard during salvage operations on 7 February 1942, when they were overcome by [[hydrogen sulfide]] gas from decomposing paper and meat.{{sfn|Wallin|1968|p=218}} The ship suffered a minimum of six bomb hits and one torpedo hit, but "it is possible that as many as ten bomb hits may have been received, [...] as certain damaged areas [were] of sufficient size to indicate that they were struck by more than one bomb."{{sfn|Scanland|1941}}

=== Attu ===
On 12 February 1942, now with Captain Harry L. Thompson {{small|(15 December 1941 – 25 August 1942)}} commanding,<ref name="navyHeritage"/> ''Nevada'' was refloated and underwent temporary repairs at [[Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard|Pearl Harbor]] so she could get to [[Puget Sound Navy Yard]] for major repairs and modernization. Then under command of Captain [[Howard F. Kingman]] {{small|(25 August 1942 – 25 January 1943)}},<ref name="navyHeritage"/> the overhaul was completed in October 1942, and it changed the old battleship's appearance so she slightly resembled a [[South Dakota-class battleship (1939)|''South Dakota'']] from a distance.{{sfn|Friedman|1985|p=420}}<ref>{{cite web |title=BB-36 – ''Nevada'' (''Nevada''–class) |url=http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USS_Nevada_%28BB-36%29_specs.jpg |publisher=Division of Naval Intelligence; Identification and Characteristics Section |work=Naval Recognition Manual |year=1943 |access-date=8 October 2008}}</ref>

=== D-Day ===
[[File:USS Nevada (BB-36) fire on positions ashore.jpg|thumb|Forward 14/45 guns of ''Nevada''  fire on positions ashore, during the landings on "Utah" Beach, 6 June 1944]]

After completion, in mid-1943 ''Nevada'' went on Atlantic [[convoy]] duty.{{sfn|US Naval History Division|1970|p=51}} Old battleships such as ''Nevada'' were attached to many convoys across the Atlantic to guard against the chance that a German capital ship might head out to sea on a [[Commerce raiding|raiding]] mission.

After completing more convoy runs, ''Nevada'' set sail for the United Kingdom to prepare for the [[Normandy Invasion]], arriving in April 1944, with Captain [[Powell M. Rhea]] {{small|(21 July 1943 – 4 October 1944)}}<ref name="navyHeritage"/> in command. Her float plane [[artillery observer]] pilots were temporarily assigned to [[VOS-7]] flying [[Spitfire]]s from [[RNAS Lee-on-Solent (HMS Daedalus)]].<ref>{{cite journal |last=Mersky |first=Peter |year=1986 |title=Naval Aviators in Spitfires |journal=Proceedings |volume=112 |issue=12 |pages=105&106 }}</ref>

She was chosen as Rear Admiral [[Morton Deyo]]'s flagship for the operation.{{sfn|Morison|1948|p=145}} During the invasion, ''Nevada'' supported forces ashore from 6–17 June, and again on 25 June; during this time, she employed her guns [[Bombardment of Cherbourg|against shore defenses]] on the [[Cherbourg-Octeville|Cherbourg]] Peninsula,{{sfn|DANFS Nevada (BB-36)}} "[seeming] to lean back as [she] hurled salvo after salvo at the shore batteries."{{sfn|Ryan|1959|p=198}} Shells from her guns ranged as far as {{convert|17|nmi|mi km|abbr=on}} inland in attempts to break up German concentrations and counterattacks, even though she was straddled by counterbattery fire 27 times (though never hit).{{sfn|DANFS Nevada (BB-36)}}

''Nevada'' was later praised for her "incredibly accurate" fire in support of beleaguered troops, as some of the targets she hit were just {{convert|600|yd|m|abbr=on}} from the front line.{{sfn|GlobalSecurity SSBN 733 Nevada}} ''Nevada'' was the only battleship present at both Pearl Harbor and the Normandy landings.{{sfn|Ryan|1959|p=90}}<!-- The text does not specifically say this; however, it DOES remark she was sunk at Pearl but steaming toward Normandy nonetheless. Common sense gives the rest: ''Texas'' and ''Arkansas'' were the only other U.S. BB's at Normandy for D-Day, but they were not also at Pearl. -->

=== Southern France ===
[[File:USS Nevada (BB-36) bombarding Southern France 1944.jpg|thumb|''Nevada'' bombarding shore targets in Southern France during Operation Dragoon]]

After D-Day, the Allies headed to Toulon for another amphibious assault, codenamed [[Operation Dragoon]]. To support this, many ships were sent from the beaches of Normandy to the Mediterranean, including five battleships (the United States' ''Nevada'', {{USS|Texas|BB-35|2}}, {{USS|Arkansas|BB-33|2}}, the British {{HMS|Ramillies|07|2}}, and the [[Free French]] {{Ship|French battleship|Lorraine||2}}), three US heavy cruisers ({{USS|Augusta|CA-31|2}}, {{USS|Tuscaloosa|CA-37|2}} and {{USS|Quincy|CA-71|2}}), and many destroyers and landing craft were transferred south.{{sfn|Morison|1963|p=414}}

''Nevada'' supported this operation from 15 August – 25 September 1944, "dueling"{{sfn|DANFS Nevada (BB-36)}} with "Big Willie": a heavily reinforced fortress with four [[340mm/45 Modèle 1912 gun|340 mm (13.4 in) guns]] in two twin turrets. These guns had been salvaged from the French battleship [[French battleship Provence|''Provence'']] after the [[scuttling of the French fleet in Toulon]]; the guns had a range of nearly 19 nautical miles (35&nbsp;km) and they commanded every approach to the [[Military port of Toulon|port of Toulon]]. In addition, they were fortified with heavy armor plate embedded into the rocky sides of the [[Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer|island of Saint Mandrier]]. Due to these dangers, the [[naval gunfire support|fire-support]] ships assigned to the operation were ordered to level the fortress. Beginning on 19 August, and continuing on subsequent days, one or more heavy warships bombarded it in conjunction with low-level bomber strikes. On the 23rd, a bombardment force headed by ''Nevada'' struck the "most damaging" blow to the fort during a 6½ hour battle, which saw 354 salvos fired by ''Nevada''. Toulon fell on the 25th, but the fort, though it was "coming apart at the seams", held out for three more days.{{sfn|Karig|Burton|Freeland|1946|p=386–387}}{{sfn|Burton|Pincus|2004}}

''Nevada'' then headed to New York to have her gun barrels relined.{{sfn|DANFS Nevada (BB-36)}} In addition, the three [[14"/45 caliber gun]]s (356&nbsp;mm) of Turret 1 were replaced with Mark 8 guns formerly on {{USS|Arizona|BB-39|2}} and in the relining process at the time of Pearl Harbor; these new guns were relined to Mark 12 specifications.{{sfn|Campbell|1985|p=123}}<ref name="Roadside America.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/11973 |title=Phoenix, Arizona – USS Arizona Anchor and Mast |date=15 July 2011 |publisher=Roadside America.com |access-date=16 July 2011}}</ref>

=== Iwo Jima, Okinawa and Japan ===
[[File:USS Nevada (BB-36) bombarding Iwo Jima.jpg|thumb|right|''Nevada'' bombarding Iwo Jima, 19 February 1945]]
After re-fitting, and with Captain [[Homer L. Grosskopf]] {{small|(4 October 1944 – 28 October 1945)}}<ref name="navyHeritage"/> commanding, she sailed for the Pacific, arriving off [[Iwo Jima]] on 16 February 1945{{sfn|DANFS Nevada (BB-36)}} to "[prepare] the island for invasion with heavy bombardment";{{sfn|CINCPOA Communique No. 264, 19 February 1945}} which she did through 7 March.{{sfn|DANFS Nevada (BB-36)}} During the invasion, she moved to be within {{convert|600|yd|m|abbr=on}} from shore to provide maximum firepower for the troops that were advancing.{{sfn|GlobalSecurity SSBN 733 Nevada}}

On 24 March 1945, ''Nevada'' joined [[Okinawa naval order of battle#Gunfire and Covering Force (Task Force 54)|Task Force 54]] (TF 54), the "Fire Support Force", off [[Okinawa Island|Okinawa]] as bombardment began prior to the [[Battle of Okinawa|invasion of Okinawa]]. The ships of TF 54 then moved into position on the night of the 23rd, beginning their bombardment missions at dawn on the 24th.{{sfn|Morison|2001|p=131}} Along with the rest of the force, ''Nevada'' shelled Japanese airfields, shore defenses, supply dumps, and troop concentrations.{{sfn|DANFS Nevada (BB-36)}} However, after the fire support ships retired for the night, dawn "came up like thunder" when seven ''[[kamikaze]]s'' attacked the force while it was without air cover. One plane, though hit repeatedly by antiaircraft fire from the force, crashed onto the main deck of ''Nevada'', next to turret No. 3. It killed 11 and wounded 49; it also knocked out both {{convert|14|in|mm|abbr=on}} guns in that turret and three 20&nbsp;mm anti-aircraft weapons.{{sfn|Morison|2001|p=133}} Another two men were lost to fire from a shore battery on 5 April. Until 30 June, she was stationed off Okinawa; she then departed to join the [[United States Third Fleet|3rd Fleet]] from 10 July to 7 August, which allowed ''Nevada'' to come within range of the [[Japanese home islands]] during the closing days of the war, though she did not bombard them.{{efn|name=bombardments-Japan}}{{sfn|DANFS Nevada (BB-36)}}

''Nevada'', then with her final commanding officer, Captain Cecil C. Adell {{small|(28 October 1945 – 1 July 1946)}},<ref name="navyHeritage"/> returned to Pearl Harbor after a brief stint of occupation duty in [[Tokyo Bay]].

A large model of the ship built for the 1970 film, ''[[Tora! Tora! Tora!]]'', survives today in [[Los Angeles]] and often appears at local parades.<ref name="Room in San Pedro?

{{notelist
| notes =
{{efn
| name = armament-guns
| The {{convert|5|in|mm|0|adj=on}}/51 cal guns were soon reduced to only 12 because of their overly wet positions. In the late 1920s, 8&nbsp;×&nbsp;[[5"/25 caliber gun|{{convert|5|in|mm|0|adj=on|abbr=on}}/25 cal anti-aircraft guns]] (8&nbsp;x&nbsp;1) were added. In 1942, all were removed and replaced by 16 × [[5"/38 caliber gun|{{convert|5|in|mm|0|adj=on|abbr=on}}/38 cal DP mounts]] (8×2), and 32&nbsp;×&nbsp;40&nbsp;mm AA (8×4) and 40&nbsp;×&nbsp;20&nbsp;mm AA (40×1) were added. See {{harvnb|Fitzsimons|1978|p=1982}}.
}}

{{efn
| name = armament-torpedos
| All of the sources agree that the torpedo tubes were 21 in. tubes, but they conflict as to whether ''Nevada'' had 2 or 4 torpedo tubes. For more information, see [[Talk:USS Nevada (BB-36)/Conflicting sources|a list]] of the conflicting sources.
}}

{{efn
| name = triple turrets debut
| The only US battleship class after ''Nevada'' that did not feature these "triple turrets" was the {{sclass|Colorado|battleship|4}}, which carried eight {{convert|16|in|mm|abbr=on}} guns in dual turrets to combat the new Japanese {{sclass|Nagato|battleship|4}}.
}}

{{efn
| name = drydock
| Although ''Nevada'' was launched in 1914, construction was not completed until 1916. For larger ships, drydocks are typically only used for work that must be done ''in'' the drydock; once the hull is complete, the ship is normally [[Ship launching|launched]] into the water, where the rest of the work is completed. This is normally done to free up the drydock for other work.
}}

{{efn
| name = Curtis turbine
| <!--Did not find a link on Wikipedia for a "Curtis turbine"-->See this book for more information on Curtis turbines (Scroll down to the bottom of the page): {{cite book | title = The Steam-engine and Other Heat-engines | last = Ewing | first = James Alfred | year = 1910 | publisher = University Press (University of California) | page = [https://archive.org/details/steamengineando02ewingoog/page/n256 232] | url = https://archive.org/details/steamengineando02ewingoog }}
}}

{{efn
| name = North Sea patrol
| Also, at some point during her time on the eastern side of the Atlantic, ''Nevada'' apparently made a patrol through the [[North Sea]], but sources do not give any date. See {{harvnb|DANFS Nevada (BB-36)}} and {{harvnb|Bonner|1996|p=102}}.
}}

{{efn
| name = other nine
| The other nine battleships were {{USS|Florida|BB-30|2}}, {{USS|Utah|BB-31|2}}, {{USS|Wyoming|BB-32|2}}, {{USS|Arkansas|BB-33|2}}, {{USS|New York|BB-34|2}}, {{USS|Texas|BB-35|2}}, {{USS|Oklahoma|BB-37|2}}, {{USS|Pennsylvania|BB-38|2}} and {{USS|Arizona|BB-39|2}}.
}}

{{efn
| name = BBrow moorings
| {{USS|Pennsylvania|BB-38|2}} was in drydock at the time of the attack. Of the anchored ships on Battleship Row (in order, north to south), ''Nevada'' was moored singly; {{USS|Arizona|BB-39|2}} had {{USS|Vestal|AR-4|2}} moored outboard of her; {{USS|Tennessee|BB-43|2}} and {{USS|West Virginia|BB-48|2}} were moored together; and {{USS|Maryland|BB-46|2}} and {{USS|Oklahoma|BB-37|2}} were moored together. {{USS|California|BB-44|2}} was moored singly at the bottom of the "row", similar to ''Nevada'', and should have had the ability to maneuver like ''Nevada'' did. However, ''California'', as "she was about to undergo a material inspection [and] watertight integrity was not at its maximum" (see {{harvnb|DANFS California (BB-44)}}), started settling as soon as she was hit by Japanese bombs and torpedoes. As a result, she sank soon after the attack began after being hit with just two bombs and two torpedoes. By comparison, ''Nevada'' took at least six bombs and one torpedo, and was still afloat when she was ordered to be beached by Hospital Point.

{{efn
| name = Ten-Ten
| Named for its length, 1010 feet.

{{efn
| name = bombardments-Japan
| [[Samuel Eliot Morison]]'s ''Victory in the Pacific'' describes the three following [[Allied naval bombardments of Japan during World War II|battleship bombardments of Japan]]: {{USS|South Dakota|BB-57|2}}, {{USS|Indiana|BB-58|2}}, {{USS|Massachusetts|BB-59|2}}, two heavy cruisers and nine destroyers bombarded [[Kamaishi]] on 15 July 1945 (pp. 312–313), {{USS|Iowa|BB-61|2}}, {{USS|Missouri|BB-63|2}}, {{USS|Wisconsin|BB-64|2}}, two CLs and eight DDs bombarded [[Muroran]] on 16 July, (pp. 313–314) and on the night of 18 July, ''Iowa'', ''Missouri'', ''Wisconsin'', {{USS|North Carolina|BB-55|2}} and {{USS|Alabama|BB-60|2}} and {{HMS|King George V|41|6}} bombarded [[Hitachi]] (pp. 315–316). Richard B. Frank in ''Downfall. The End of the Imperial Japanese Empire'' lists all these bombardments on p. 157 and adds a bombardment of [[Hamamatsu]] on the night of 29–30 July, by ''South Dakota'', ''Indiana'' and ''Massachusetts''. ''Nevada'' is not mentioned anywhere as having bombarded any of the Home Islands.<br />Citations: {{harvnb|Morison|2002}} and {{harvnb|Frank|1999}}
}}

{{efn
| name = final sinking
| {{harvnb|NVR Nevada (BB 36)}}, the [[Naval Vessel Register]] entry for ''Nevada'', only states that ''Iowa'', a heavy cruiser and a destroyer used her as a gunnery target. No further details are known.
