Both pictures via after-action report.

The Nevada was the alone 1 of the battleships to instruct underway precisely was torpedoed in addition to bombed to the signal it was most to sink in addition to block the harbor channel. The ship's harm command officeholder was the highest ranking officeholder aboard in addition to it was he who had gotten the Nevada away from the USS Arizona which was burning from stalk to stern.
He thence made the conclusion to run the send aground to continue it from sinking in addition to trapping the balance of the fleet inward the harbor, perhaps for months.

The Nevada was thence vanquish upwards it should bring sunk. Any normal boat would bring sunk. It should non bring been able to instruct to the shallows.

It was refloated in addition to repaired:

                                             1941                                                                              1944
The USS Nevada had a rattling tough life. (U.S. Navy)

She went on to serve on D-Day off Cherbourg in addition to thence to Toulon in addition to lastly to Okinawa.

Lt. Commander Francis Thomas was awarded the minute highest U.S. decoration, the Navy Cross, kept climbing through the ranks in addition to retired every bit a rear-admiral. He lived to live 100.

The Nevada was doomed to live a target send at the offset Bikini atoll atomic tests. Two tests were run, offset an air burst. The Nevada didn't sink. Then an underwater nuclear detonation. The Nevada didn't sink.
The extremely radioactive send was hauled dorsum to Pearl Harbor for examination.
It was thence towed out to opened upwards H2O for target utilisation past times the battleship Iowa in addition to 2 other ships.

All together now:
It didn't sink.

The Navy had to mail an aerial torpedo to complete it off.

So, when the Norwegian Navy gets the Helge Ingstad refloated in addition to (maybe) patched upwards at that spot is precedent for farther distinguished service.

No nuke utilisation though, okay?
