Nevada-class battleship The two "Nevada"-class battleship s were the first Standard-type battleships produced by the U.S. Navy, and also the first to use triple main turrets. "Nevada" (BB-36) and "Oklahoma" (BB-37) were both ordered in March 1911. In armament, armor, and propulsion the "Nevada" class represented a considerable evolution in battleship design and, in being designed specifically to fight at extreme gunnery ranges, was actually well ahead of its time.
