Nevada Class Dreadnought Battleship USS Oklahoma pictured off Philadelphia Navy Yard on August 21st 1929....built by New York Shipbuilding Corporation in 1914, she was notable for being the first American Class of oil-burning Dreadnoughts.
Commissioned in 1916, Oklahoma served in World War I as a part of Battleship Division Six, protecting Allied convoys on their way across the Atlantic. After the war, she served in both the United States Battle Fleet and Scouting Fleet. Oklahoma was modernized between 1927 and 1929. In 1936, she rescued American citizens and refugees from the Spanish Civil War. On returning to the West Coast in August of the same year, Oklahoma spent the rest of her service in the Pacific....On December 7th 1941, during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, several torpedoes from torpedo-bomber aircraft hit the Oklahoma's hull and the ship capsized. A total of 429 crew died; survivors jumped off the ship 50 feet into burning hot water or crawled across mooring lines that connected Oklahoma and Maryland. Some sailors inside escaped when rescuers drilled holes and opened hatches to rescue them. In 1943, Oklahoma was righted and salvaged. Unlike most of the other Battleships that were recovered following Pearl Harbor, Oklahoma was too badly damaged to return to duty. Her wreck was eventually stripped of her remaining armament and superstructure before being sold for scrap in 1946. The hulk sank in a storm in 1947, while being towed from Oahu, Hawaii, to a breakers yard in San Francisco Bay.
