This week we saw the return of “Old Man Winter”, at least for a while. We were getting a little spoiled with all the nice weather we’d been having, but this is Montana, and we were kinda missing our old friend.

These features made Nevada, alongside sister ship Oklahoma, the first US Navy “standard-type” battleships. Nevada’s construction was authorized by an Act of Congress...
