USS Nebraska (BB-14) USS "Nebraska" (BB-14) was a "Virginia"-class pre-dreadnought battleship of the United States Navy, the second of five members of the class, and the first ship to carry her name. She was built by the Moran Brothers shipyard in Seattle, Washington, with her keel laying in July 1902 and her launching in October 1904. Slipping into the water eleven minutes ahead of schedule, her quick thinking sponsor, Mary Nain Mickey, the daughter of Nebraska state governor John H. Mickey, still managed to christen her before she slipped out of reach. The completed ship was commissioned into the US Navy in July 1907. The ship was armed with an offensive battery of four 12 in guns and eight 8 in guns, and she was capable of a top speed of 19 kn .
