Battle Wagon USS South Dakota Redeemed In World War II Standoff
The South Dakota destroyed 32 of 84 Japanese planes during the Santa Cruz battle in October 1942 after armor upgrades. Nevada aided Normandy coastal fortifications and the creation of a sea fortress role paving the way for Cherbourg, Anzio, and Rome incursions. The ship's 16 inch guns deliver nine tons per target, thirty tons per minute, enabling dramatic coastal assaults.
