Description

Hospital ship U.S.S. Nevada (BUMED 09-7930-11), U.S. Navy BUMED Library and Archives

Description: "The USS Nevada - Veteran of 2 Wars and Many Battles. The USS Nevada, built by the Fore River Ship yard, Boston, Massachusetts, and commissioned 03/11/1916, still commands a prominent place in what is today the world's biggest fleet. An old sea dog that has weathered many battles including the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor, the Nevada is still able to withstand the best the enemy has to offer. When a Japanese suicide plane crashed the Nevada off Okinawa, 03/27/1945, this veteran battleship shook off the resulting damage in a matter of hours. Again 0n 04/05, when a Japanese shore battery on Okinawa began shelling the ship, scoring 5 hits, she silenced the installation in 18 minutes. Though the Nevada has been active throughout the Pacific fight - from the Aleutians to the Ryukyus, the big ship also played a leading role in the Normandy and Cherbourg landings in Europe. Wounded men from the USS Nevada are transferred to an amphibious craft for further transfer to a Navy hospital ship. 11 men were killed, 41 wounded, when the big battleship was hit by a Japanese suicide plane off Okinawa early in the morning of 03/27/1945. WWII Shipboard Evacuation - Pacific. 07/18/1945.
