USS Nevada (BB-36), a groundbreaking United States Navy ship, earned her name after being designated as the second US Navy vessel to carry the designation of the 36th state. Serving as the lead battleship of the two-ship Nevada-class, her sister ship Oklahoma played an equally significant role in naval history. Launched in 1914, Nevada took a bold leap forward in dreadnought technology by incorporating cutting-edge innovations that would go on to become staples across subsequent US Navy ships: triple gun turrets, a shift from coal to oil for fuel sources, the introduction of geared steam turbines for enhanced range capabilities, and an all-or-nothing approach to armor. These features solidified Nevada's status as America's first-ever super-dreadnought battleship. Throughout her illustrious career, USS Nevada left her mark in both World War I and World War II. As part of the final months of WWI, Nevada anchored at Bantry Bay, Ireland, providing critical defense to supply convoys traveling between Great Britain and other strategic destinations. Her most pivotal role came during WWII when Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor put the entire US Navy fleet in peril; surprisingly, Nevada became one of the few ships able to initiate combat maneuvers immediately following the assault. Though taking damage from a single torpedo and no less than six bombs while trying to pull back from Battleship Row, USS Nevada made history by becoming the lone battleship able to put to sea that morning. Following significant repairs at Puget Sound Navy Yard, she served not only as a convoy escort in Atlantic missions but also offered fire support for four key amphibious assaults: Normandy Landings and landings on Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and Southern France. After the end of WWII, the United States Navy decided that Nevada had seen her prime, opting instead to use her as an atomic experiment target ship. Scheduled to undergo trials in Bikini Atoll's July 1946 'Operation Crossroads', Nevada withstood considerable force from Able (the first A-Bomb), sustaining heavy damage but remaining afloat nonetheless. This ultimately proved fatal for the USS Nevada - after decommissioning on August 29, 1946, she sank due to target practice on 31 July 1948 as part of ongoing military drills at Bikini Atoll. Innovative pose features abound with this exceptional figure including an accurate rendition of Nevada's prominent rudder and spinning propellers; operational turrets along with gun barrels which allow independent movement and elevation capability; working cranes, functioning spotlight directors; and fully-rotating aircraft catapults and functional crane arms.
