ギルバート・マーシャル諸島の戦い
In 1940, "Maryland" changed her base of operations to Pearl Harbor. She was moored at Battleship Row next to Ford Island during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Damaged during the attack, "Maryland" reported to Puget Sound, where she was repaired and modernized. "Maryland" supported the amphibious landings during the Battle of Tarawa, and thereafter participated in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands campaign, the Mariana and Palau Islands campaign, the Battle of Peleliu, the Philippines campaign, and the Battle of Okinawa. Following the end of World War II "Maryland" participated in Operation Magic Carpet before being decommissioned in 1947. She was sold for scrap in 1959.
