Action in the mid-Atlantic! In November 1941, the light cruiser USS Omaha (CL-4) was involved in one of the great dramas of American seamanship. While on patrol, her crew spotted a suspicious freighter flying the American flag. When the fleeing crew tried to sink their own ship, the brave boarding party from the Omaha risked extreme danger to capture and salvage it—discovering it was actually the German blockade runner Odenwald!

Nebraska may be landlocked, but its namesake ships have made waves across the globe.
