A US Navy battleship all but sunk at Pearl Harbor was brought back to life to battle the Germans...

USS Nevada had an epic three decades of service. The storied US Navy battleship fought in both World Wars, and during the second global conflict, it was all but sunk at Pearl Harbor by the Japanese but then resurrected to later batter the Germans during the D-Day landings.

Neither of the major Axis powers managed to kill the Nevada, but the US military eventually did with a lethal combination of strikes over several years that started with nuclear bomb and later turned to gunfire and torpedoes.

Built in Massachusetts and named after the 36th state, the 27,500-ton Nevada was commissioned in March 1916 and spent the first two years of service operating in the western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
