No. They've all been stricken from the roster of active duty ships. They're just too big and "unique" to keep them in service. Even with the cruise missle and other upgrades, we just can't get enough "mileage" out of them to warrant the costs of operating them. A link is provided below for more information.

No, the US Navy no longer has battleships in commission. The last four battleships that were in service, the USS Iowa, USS New Jersey, USS Missouri, and USS Wisconsin, were all decommissioned in the 1990s.
