General History: USS Nevada - Tanking Nukes to the Face

USS Nevada, the first of the Standard-type battleships, went from a boring career to one filled with excitement the moment Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

In this she would be very successful and never take any real damage. Her legend of toughness would come later.
