It was on Sunday morning 80 years ago that the cataclysmic attack changed the world forever. The USS Nevada, the oldest battleship on Battleship Row when the attack occurred, managed to get underway during the attack, but was subsequently damaged and grounded herself near Hospital Point. On Sunday December 5, 2021, family and friends will gather at historic Hospital Point to honor the crew and the legacy of the USS Nevada.
