Pearl Harbor attack
A U.S. battleship sinking during the Pearl Harbor attack.
During the second wave of the Pearl Harbor attack, the USS Nevada was attempting to get underway. Because it was positioned at the end of Battleship Row, it had more freedom of movement than other moored capital ships. However, as it moved, it was struck by seven or eight bombs and was ultimately grounded at the head of the channel.1
