As the Battleship Nevada began to sink, Vice Admiral Spee decisively ordered a change of targets. The attack shifted from the Battleship Nevada to the Battleship Oklahoma.

After all, the Battleship Nevada had already begun sinking. Continuing to bombard her would only waste shells. Every round from a large-caliber heavy gun was expensive. Saving even one was worthwhile. Besides, so many enemy Battleships had yet to be sunk. If they ran out of shells by the end, that would be disastrous.
