Overview
The third and final Colorado-class battleship. USS West Virginia spent the interwar period conducting training voyages and exercises. Before World War II, the battleship was supposed to receive bulges, reinforced deck armor, and air defenses, as well as new boilers and a new fire-control system, but the modernization was postponed until 1942, and the ship never went through it. During the Pearl Harbor raid, West Virginia received multiple torpedo and bomb hits, then sank on an even keel. In May 1942, the battleship was raised and repaired, and only then did she finally undergo a radical modernization.
