Nevada and Oklahoma were launched in 1914 and commissioned in 1916, too late for the opening of this counterfactual war. Oklahoma was still under thirty years old when sunk at Pearl Harbor in 1941. The class paired heavy belt armour and a 20-knot speed with the endurance limits associated here with American battleship design. Nevada survived longer and was sunk as a target in 1948. Their chronology makes the label old at Pearl Harbor relative rather than evidence that they belonged to a remote technological era.
