Version without oerlikons (444 parts) here
- The Defensive warships series hopes to make killing AI warship targets with aircraft 10x harder. (and fun) All ships have a semi-realistic AA complement, with guns that all have semi-realistic ranges, muzzle velocities, firing arcs, and etc.
- (wiki)
USS Nevada (BB-36), the third United States Navy ship to be named after the 36th state, was the lead ship of the two Nevada-class battleships. Launched in 1914, Nevada was a leap forward in dreadnought technology; four of her new features would be included on almost every subsequent US battleship: triple gun turrets, oil in place of coal for fuel, geared steam turbines for greater range, and the "all or nothing" armor principle. These features made Nevada, alongside her sister ship Oklahoma, the first US Navy "standard-type" battleships.

Notes
- No particular reason I decided to make this other than the fact that the man Blyatnov himself requested it (atleast I think lmao) so I don't really have anything to say lol.
- (P.S., the reload rates for the 5in/38s beyond the Bofors max ranges are pretty goofy, I have a solution similar to what I did with Yamato, but it’d require me to republish the craft, so this will only be changed in future builds.)
Enjoy getting obliterated!
