What was the only U.S. battleship to get underway during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941?
1941年日本偷袭珍珠港时,下列哪艘战舰是唯一可以启动的战舰?
USS California, West Virginia, Nevada or Oklahoma?
加州号、西弗吉尼亚号、内华达号还是俄克拉荷马号?
The USS Nevada was the only battleship to start moving, though, it was hit by a torpedo1 and multiple bombs.
虽然内华达号战舰是唯一得以开动的战舰,但被一条鱼雷和多枚炸弹击中。
That's why the crew intentionally2 ran the USS Nevada aground to save the ship but its survival is only part of the reason why this was known as the unsinkable battleship. The USS Nevada was commissioned in 1916 and served in World War One.
所以船员故意让内华达号搁浅以拯救这艘船,但幸存下来只是其被称为“永不沉没的战舰”的部分原因。内华达号战舰于1916年服役,曾在第一次世界大战中执行任务。
After the Pearl Harbor attack more than two decades later, the ship was repaired and sailed to Europe where it took part in the D-Day landings of World War II. Then the Nevada returned to service in the Pacific.
珍珠港事件发生20多年后,这艘战舰经改装后航行至欧洲,并在那里参加了第二次世界大战中的诺曼底登陆战役。之后,内华达号返回太平洋服役。
After the war ended, the ship was used as a target in the U.S. military's nuclear weapon testing program. That's when the Nevada survived two atomic blasts in 1946. Still floating, the Nevada was finally sunk in 1948 after the Navy used it again for target practice and hit it with an aerial torpedo.
战争结束后,内华达号作为靶船参与美国军方的核武测试计划。当时,内华达号在两次原子弹爆炸中幸存下来。那时其仍漂浮在海面上,但在1948年,内华达号再次被美军用作靶船,最终被一枚鱼雷击沉。
This is the ship's wreckage3 that was recently located about 65 miles southwest of Hawaii at a depth of more than 15,000-feet.
最近,该战舰的残骸在夏威夷西南约65英里、深度超过1.5万英尺的海域被发现。
Ocean Infinity4, the company that explored the Nevada says it hopes the ship's story honors those who served in the Navy, plays a role in education and exists as a symbol of perseverance5 and courage.
搜寻内华达号的海洋无限公司表示,他们希望用这艘战舰的故事致敬曾服役于海军的士兵,希望这个故事能发挥教育作用,成为毅力和勇气的象征。
