To this honored list historians have added the venerable battleship Nevada, target in the first atomic bomb test at Bikini.

She navigated, according to her commander, “by the grace of God and good fortune." Transferred to the Atlantic, the warship did convoy duty from Sept. 1942 to April 1944. On D-Day.
