    About USS Nevada

    USS Nevada (BB-36) was a groundbreaking battleship, named after the 36th state and leading the Nevada-class. Launched in 1914, it boasted innovative features like triple gun turrets, oil fuel, geared steam turbines, and 'all or nothing' armor. These advancements set a new standard for US battleships.

    I was the first battleship to launch an aircraft, a Curtiss A-1 Triad seaplane, from a pivot mount on Turret II on 12 January 1916.
