Battleship  Nevada  holds the unique distinction of having survived Pearl Harbor, D-Day, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa and being the target of atomic bomb testing during Operation Crossroads.
Both USS  Nevada  (BB-36) and her sister ship USS  Oklahoma  were sunk in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Unlike  Oklahoma, which was scrapped,  Nevada  was repaired, refit, and returned to service. BB-36 served with distinction during the invasion of France, and also in the Pacific, supporting the amphibious landings at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. 
Obsolete by the end of the war,  Nevada  survived the nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll during Operation Crossroads. She was finally sunk as a practice target in 1948.
This expanded 176-page entry in the  Legends of Warfare  series includes 350 images. The photographs, tables, and accompanying text reveal the ship in construction and during her service in both world wars.|Both USS  Nevada  (BB-36) and her sister ship USS  Oklahoma  were sunk in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
