Nevada, Veteran Of
Nazi Attacks, Slugs
It Out With Japs
WASHINGTON. July 18 (!)
Veteran o two wars, the battle
ship Nevada absoroect aamage
from a flaming suicide plane
and five hits from an Okinawa
shore battery but stayed in the
light.
The navy today told the story
of the actions which occurred
as the famous old ship was oper
ating as part of a formation as
signed to obliterate enemy in
stallations on the island,
j. The kamikaze struck before
daylight March 27, causing 60
Casualties, including 10 enlisted
"men and one officer killed and
JJO seriously injured.
Despite her damage, the Nev
ada was back in action within
;four hours.
i The next week, on April 5,
avhile still pounding away at
Japanese airfields, shore de
fenses, supply dumps and sus
pected troop concentration
points, a coastal battery opened
fire.
J The Nevada, which cracked
.the toughest installations the
aiazis could provide at Norman-
riy, Cherbourg and southern
France, slugged it out for 18
sminutes. During the engage
ment the enemy fired an estimat
ed 24 shells, five of which reg
istered. They killed two men,
.seriously injured eight, and
lightly wounded eight others.
'' Experienced gunners of the
Nevada got off 71 rounds from
sher 14-inch main battery alone,
nd when the shooting was over,
Jthe- navy said "the target area
(resembled a gravel quarry after
a week's blasting."
! The Nevada's damage was re
paired overnight, and the next
cmorning she was back on the
firing line.
' In the kamikaze attack, the
Nevada's anti-aircraft guns as
sisted in splashing two of the
attackers before a "Val" dive
. bomber streaked out of the haze
apparently bent on striking the
jopen bridge. Light machine
Jguns scored hits on the plane,
abut too late to stop her.
Hit at Pearl Harbor
f Marine gunners of the 20 mm
Jbattery, however, managed to
n"saw off" the plane's right wing,
-which fluttered into the sea. Its
Jcourse diverted, the plane crash
sed into the main deck aft beside
a main battery turret. The seven
marines who saved the ship's
superstructure died at their sta
tions, their guns barking until
the second the plane struck.
Fires started by the kamikaze
crash were extinguished in three
minutes, but not before consid
erable material damage was
done to the main battery turret
and one 20 mm gun.
It was the Nevada's first dam
age since Pearl Harbor, al
though she was "straddled" by
German shore batteries during
the bombardment of Cherbourg.
At Pearl Harbor, she was the
only capital ship to get under
way during the attack. About
40 minutes after the Japanese
hit, she cleared her berth unas
sisted and started down the
south channel. Heavily dam
aged and drawing water, she was
beached to prevent jamming the
channel.
After permanent repairs and
modernization at the Puget
Sound, Wash., navy yard, she
returned to the fleet in time to
participate in the reconquest of
the Aleutians in May, 1943. She
later was refitted at the Nor
folk, Va., navy yard, and ar
rived in European waters in
April, 1944. to support the Nor
mandy landings.
She returned to the Pacific
late last year after recondition
ing again at the Norfolk navy
yard. Her first new assignment
was at Iwo Jima.
