Summary edit

English: ~9:02AM December 7, 1941 USS Nevada (BB-36) headed down channel after being intensely attacked by Japanese dive bombers.

Photographed from Ford Island, with USS Avocet (AVP-4) in the foreground and the dredge line in the middle distance.

  • Smoke is pouring from Nevada's forecastle area where (2) 250 bombs have struck. Minutes afterwards, she is given orders to beach herself opposite floating Drydock YFD-2 (holding USS Shaw) in order that the channel not be blocked. Minutes later, the current will have shifted Nevada 180 degrees so that she would face up Channel.
