Mój malunek okrętu liniowego USS "Nevada" (BB-36) w konfiguracji z końca 1941 roku. Przepraszam, za angielski opis, ale nie chce mi się tego teraz przepisywać, a to fragment mojej książki o tym okręcie, puszczonej na rynek zachodni i jednocześnie pracy doktorskiej, niech więc zostanie w oryginale...
