During the early hours of December 7, 1941, the crew of USS Nevada, one of the two colossal Nevada-class battleships from the US Navy, was playing Morning Colors.
Soon, dozens of Japanese aircraft poured down from the sky and began bombing Pearl Harbor with devastating effects. Nevada, the only ship that was not moored, immediately began to maneuver to get out of harm’s way and counterattack.
As the crew began to fend off the enemy fighters with accurate anti-aircraft fire, several bombs and one torpedo hit her. Despite the critical flooding and the subsequent fires, Nevada and her crew kept fighting back until the ship was beached and began to sink.
It appeared as though USS Nevada was lost forever, but she became the only ship damaged at Pearl Harbor to rise again and be able to seek revenge on her enemies…

She never escaped. She made a run for the channel but beached because of damage.
SABATON DO A SONG FOR THE NEVADA
They left out when the Nevada fought the martians led by the great alien conquerors Kang and Kodos
Man! Where do you get your info from??
The Nevada was one of many of the ships sunk or believed lost on Dec7.
Even the Destroyer USS Shaw which when bombed produced the largest visible explosion of the entire attack and had its bow completely ripped off, was rebuilt and served proudly when she re entered the conflict.
Many of your docs and info within are flawed badly. Stopped watching your crap long ago until someone pointed this one out to me. Do something else like car documentaries or something GB about the Kardashians or something.
Why don't you EVER use the right footage?
Must’ve hired a new new researcher cause they usually have their facts straight. Not on this one.
I would rather see fewer of your videos if that means you do better research and editing.
Thank you! She was NOT the only battleship recovered. I believe 6 out of 8 were refloated and refitted. Only Arizona and Utah were permanently sunk. If your going to make these videos, you folks need to fact check ALL your statements.
Back when ships were steel and sailors were iron.
Can you use actual pictures or films of the ship? As you talked of her triple-gun turrets you show a double-barreled turret. Her only sister ship was the Arizona at one point and different ship later.
First time hitting the dislike button, as your historical facts are severely flawed! Delete and redo this one!
In addition to Nevada, West Virginia, California, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Maryland all were sunk or damaged and returned to service.
Thanks
You guys need to do better research before releasing your videos. You make a-lot of errors .
Who is behind Ground News? Just curious but knowing corporate owned Media News is in peril so they may have to come up with some new names hopefully that's not one of your advertisers. In the past I would have never thought to think about who's is behind the News & there agenda We are watching but today We got to & Should pay attention to who writes the articles and who owns companies
The invasion of Normandy was Operation Overlord!
Look up the story of how a young officer on his first OOD (Officer of the deck) got the ship's steam up and moved her away from the Other ships. A great read
So many errors in this video. I am really surprised this video was not vetted.
Semper Fidelis!
Seen this story many time by different people. nobody explains how the boilers could make enough steam in short period of time unless already lit & making steam. My ship took an hour to lite off cold & make steam.
Babcock & Willcox 600 LBS D-type.
What kind of boilers did the battleship have? Someone please? This old 🐸
I wished they saved her 🙁
Damn it…!
The Nevada was the only battleship to get underway during the attack. She was hit by 6 bombs and a torpedo and was beached at Hospital Point where she settled to her rails. Technically Sunk. Pennsylvania was only lightly damaged and put to sea December 12 followed by the Tennessee December 20 and the USS Maryland December 30. The Nevada was not refloated till Feb 12 1942.
That was a wonderful documentary thank you for sharing it.
Facts and research have never stood in the way of cranking out these videos. And whining has not interrupted his cash flow.
What crap. Almost all of the ships in Pearl Harbor that day (including those damaged or "sunk" in the attack) returned to see action during the war. Do your research.
And right from the start.
Not interested in some garbage commercial.
Trying to lose viewers by promoting this garbage?
I’ll help.
Poorly researched reflecting Dark Seas to be a less than credible source of information
The USS Nevada was most certainly moored at Ford Island at the beginning of the Pearl Harbor attack. At approximately 8:40 AM (30 minutes after being torpedoed), her lines were cut and she got underway. She was hit several times while trying to escape the harbor and ended up beaching herself just south of Ford Island.
I just want to give a shout out to our anonymous Dark-etc narrator. No bullshit, no groveling for likes and subscribes, he just gets right into the content. Are there historical and factual errors here and there? Sure, but nobody's perfect. I just really appreciate how our narrator gets right into it with little to no preamble and no neediness.
0:27 "the only ship that was not moored." They were all docked and this all moored. The Nevada was able to move because it had two boilers lit off- evidently the minimum needed for propulsion. One boiler was kept on line in port to provide electricity, etc. for the ship. Periodically the boilers would be rotated, with one getting ready to go off line and the other getting ready to replace it.
Cousin was on board the USS Cummings in the navy yard directly across from battleship row. Japanese torpedo bombers crossed in front of her bow while making runs on the BB's.
The USS Cummings was getting power from the yard, they cut loose from the yards power and got up steam in time to follow directly behind the USS Nevada coming up the channel and watched the dive bombers beat her into submission.
Cousin passed last year at 99 years of age.
BB-36 my great grandfather was on that shit when the Japanese attacked. He was on the ship until 44 then he got stationed on BB-63 Mighty Mo and was on that until 46.
RMS Titanic: "I'm unsinkable!"
USS Nevada: "Hold my beer……."
What a misinformation fest. First of all the narrator doesn't know how to even pronounce Nevada. Hint it's not Nevahda. And it wasn't the only Battleship to rise out of Pearl Harbor and fight the Japanese. Shsseeehhh do your friken homework.
Nevada WAS moored at Ford Island. During the attack, her Chief Engineer went over the side with a fireman's axe and chopped away the mooring lines. He then dropped the axe and drove into the water after his ship; he wasn't about to miss this voyage. Then, among all the devastation, a sudden cheer went up throughout the harbor. "THE NEVADA'S STANDING OUT!!!!!", somebody shouted. But, her mobilization made her an instant target for the Japanese. And after repetitious bombings and torpedoings, she was ordered to push herself aground at Hospital Point so that she wouldn't block the harbor entrance.
Pennsylvania, "Old Falling Apart" deserves her own episode. She used up her own 14"x45 guns and got salvaged guns off of Oklahoma. Fired most rounds of any battleship in history. Ironically, firing none in the last great battleship-on-battleship engagement, because her relatively old radars could not get any target fix.
I'm amazed at the nitpicking going on here. Rare film clips? Repeating? What do you want? Inaccuracies, yeah it happens in any one of these documentaryies. Sit back and enjoy what's being presented here.
as an AMERICAN soldier I cant tell you how proud I am to know that we are literally the biggest heroes on earth
and we need to be against cowards like this
It's not Nevahda
this video is not escaping all the errors it made …
All but 2 or 3 battleships that were sunk were eventually refloated and sent back to the west coast for repairs. USS West Virginia, which was a interwar BB that sank during the attack on PH, relaunched with repairs and upgrades a few months after the first Iowa class BBs.
I'm not sure what is going on with your channel but you are not getting your facts right. Do more history research before posting false information.
