29,000-Ton US Navy Battleship USS Pennsylvania Summed Up in 1 Word

The battleship USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) sat in drydock at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, took one 500-pound bomb, and was seaworthy again by April 1942. She steamed more than 150,000 miles through the Pacific war before a Japanese torpedo found her at anchor in Buckner Bay, Okinawa, on August 12, 1945, three days before the end, killing 20 and making her the last major US warship damaged in the war.
