USS Nevada Reunion Set for February-- Part 1: Undoubtedly the Last One

From the Jan. 28, 2016, Nevada Appeal "USS Nevada reunion set for next week."

For five days, former shipmates who served on the battleship from World War I which was heavily damaged at Pearl Harbor, fought in World War II and was later a target ship for postwar atomic testing before being purposely sunk by U.S. Navy and Air Force gunfire in 1948, will renew old friendships.

They meet on February 5th in Las Vegas to commemorate the upcoming 100th anniversary of the commissioning of the USS Nevada on March 11, 1916, at Boston Navy Yard.

The last reunion was held in 2010 in Reno, Nevada and drew about a dozen crew members.  They expect five to attend this year, all between the ages of 87-93.  They will be coming from Wisconsin, Texas, Arizona and Florida.  This will be"undoubtedly the last reunion of the USS Nevada Association."

Another dozen are alive but too old or infirm to attend.
