American battleship “Nevada” was found at a depth of about 4.5 km 120 km from pearl Harbor. This ship survived two world wars, participated in the first nuclear tests, was then used as a target and was sunk in 1948.
At the bottom of the Pacific ocean discovered American battleship “Nevada”: it came into operation during the First world war, survived the attack on pearl Harbor in 1941 and participated in nuclear tests of the USA at Bikini Atoll, until it was sunk during a naval firing practice on 31 July 1948.
the Wreckage of a military vessel buried at a depth of about 4.5 km, 120 km South West from pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
To such conclusion came the experts on underwater archaeology and robotics from companies in the SEARCH and Ocean Infinity. To determine the location of the lost ship was the latest technology. In research took part the ship of the company Pacific Constructor. In early 2020, before the outbreak of coronavirus, it went into the Pacific ocean for solving problems of the business plan. Due to the deterioration of the situation with the pandemic a ship lost at sea.
With deep-sea cameras, the researchers conducted a survey submerged object. The footage shows that “Nevada” is actually broken up into pieces. The metal parts are pretty corroded and covered with marine vegetation.
“We are proud to have taken part in historical mission, the President said SAERCH James Pachorek. — Recent developments show how technology help research. Detection “Nevada” is another reminder of the human stories that lie beneath the waves waiting for the retelling”.
added Vice President company and a leading marine archaeologist James Delgado expedition, “Nevada” — real cult ship.
“prior To flooding from pearl Harbor he survived the bombing with torpedoes, bombs, missiles, and two nuclear explosions. Resting at the Maritime Museum “Nevada” reminds us not only of the glorious past, but also about who came to the defense of the United States in two world wars. We conduct studies of the ocean to find connections to the past”, he said.
the Construction “Nevada” was conducted in 1912-1914 and cost the U.S. government nearly $6 million In 1916, the ship began to perform tasks off the coast of the United States, and in August 1918 was the last American battleship sent to participate in the operations of the fleet in Europe. In December of the same year, “Nevada” was accompanied by the liner of President Woodrow Wilson, who was headed to France to participate in Paris peace conference.
In the 1920-ies “Nevada” plied the World’s oceans with a variety of missions. After modernization, the ship joined the Pacific fleet. 7 DECA��RYA 1941, at the time of the Japanese attack on pearl harbour, “Nevada” stood at anchor off the island Ford and, unlike the other battleships, had room to maneuver.
the Ship tried to fight, but received a torpedo hit and damaged six bombs. As a result, on-Board fire, and “Nevada” is out of order, partially immersed in water at shallow depth. During the Japanese attack 60 members of her team were killed and 109 were injured. In turn, the ship’s gunners reported destroying at least five enemy aircraft.
However, after the repair of “NV” participated in the landing in Normandy and later played an important role in the invasion of Okinawa.
In 1946, the ship served as “props” when the first atomic experiments at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Then it was used as a target for shooting practice, until finally sunk by a torpedo from the air. And then, to put a strong “Nevada” to the bottom managed the first time.
At the end of April this year, reported the finding from the coast of the Crimea sunk by Nazis during the Second world war, the Soviet ship “Armenia”. In order to detect the wreckage of the ship, the search engines over the past 20 years have explored the area of over 300 km2. Once the search operation took place in March 2020, when the district was surveyed by sonar.
This study showed that the bottom do is the object shaped like “Armenia”.
it is Known that the object is not split into parts, is on an even keel course 220 single fragment at a depth of 1.5 km. Distance from shore — a little more than 33 km.
