USS INDIANA Model

USS Indiana is a South Dakota-class fast battleships built for the United States Navy in the late 1930s. The other ships are South Dakota, Alabama, and Massachusetts. She was built at Newport News, Virginia and commissioned in April 1942.

From November 1942 to October 1943, USS Indiana operated in the South Pacific. She then moved to the Central Pacific, where she participated in the invasions of the Gilbert Islands in November 1943 and the Marshalls in January 1944. 

In April and May 1944, USS Indiana escorted carriers in raids on Japanese positions in the Carolines.  Beginning in June, she took part in the the Marianas campaign, including pre-invasion bombardment of Saipan and the Battle of the Philippine Sea. The battleship screened the fast carriers into the Autumn of 1944, assisting in strikes on the Palaus and Philippines. After an overhaul, Indiana returned to the Western Pacific in January 1945, in time to participate in the invasion of Iwo Jima, carrier raids on the Japanese Home Islands and the Ryukyus invasion.  She passed through a typhoon in June and used her sixteen-inch guns to shell targets in Japan during the last weeks of the Pacific War. 

Returning to the U.S. after the Japanese surrender, USS Indiana was placed in reserve status in September 1946 and decommissioned a year later. She was sold for scrapping in October 1963.
