It suddenly sank because she was used for target practice for naval gunfire. Not much mystery in that.This clickable gem keeps circulating around Facebook and is ridiculously misleading:
"The USS Nevada was the only military ship to make it out of Pearl Harbor intact, so experts couldn't ever figure out why it suddenly sank in 1948. New evidence from the ocean floor, however, is finally putting the puzzle to rest."
Some of the comments on the post are even worse!

Well he would know, always keen on aviation was Abe, thats how he got the job with Avro.Yep, Abe Lincoln said so
Now you're claiming the mosquito could go faster than Mach 1If an airplane went beyond Mach 1, could it be called a twin 'boom'?
Well, if I remember right, boom is "tree" in Dutch, so the G.1 was "two trees"?Now you're claiming the mosquito could go faster than Mach 1
Ah, that's what they mean with the wooden mosquito. It was made of wood, right, so they must have used 2 trees.Well, if I remember right, boom is "tree" in Dutch, so the G.1 was "two trees"?
