Here is a brief summary of US ship losses & damage to the 8 battleships at Pearl Harbor: Battleship-USS Arizona, sunk; 1,103 killed Battleship-USS Oklahoma, sunk; 415 killed Battleship-USS West Virginia, sunk; 106 killed Battleship-USS California, sunk; 98 killed Battleship-USS Nevada, beached; 60 killed; Battleship-USS Pennsylvania, slight damage; 29 killed Battleship-USS Tennessee, minor damage; 5 killed Battleship-USS Maryland, some damage; 4 killed.

Only the USS Arizona & USS Oklahoma were total losses. The USS West Virginia, USS California, and USS Nevada were all raised/refloated and then repaired & improved on the US west coast in time to fight in the Pacific war.

The USS Pennsylvania, USS Tennessee, and USS Maryland were all repaired on the US west coast and returned to service in less than four months. Of the 8 battleships at Pearl Harbor, four were sunk. Of the four that were sunk, two were later raised, repaired, and returned to service during the war.

Eight battleships were either sunk outright or damaged. Remarkably, all but two, The Arizona and The Oklahoma, were repaired and returned to service.
