All US battleships survived the war except for: 1. USS Oklahoma (sunk under tow to California) 2. USS Utah (converted training anti-aircraft ship-remains resting on the bottom of Pearl Harbor). 3. USS Arizona-still resting on the bottom of Pearl Harbor. The IJN battleship Nagato survived the war, but was sunk during the testing of the Atom Bomb in '46 (Operation Crossroads)...along with the USS Pennsylvania; USS Nevada; USS New York; USS Arkansa. Penn, Nevada, New York were highly radioactive after the bombs went off and were sunk at sea for target practice (a navy tradition-considered a "Viking Funeral" by some). Arkansas, however practically disintegrated due to her closeness to the atomic device. Nagato can be dove on by scuba divers in Bikini Lagoon. Of Britains KGV (King George V) battleships, four of them survived the war, only HMS Prince of Wales was lost; sunk by Japanese torpedo bombers three days after Pearl Harbor in 1941.
