Some fought back, they all were abandoned when they begun sinking. It depends on which battleship. The Utah was no longer a battleship, but a target ship which the Japanese mistook for a carrier, and they sank her first. The Arizona was next, and most of her crew died before they knew what hit them. Oklahoma capsized and entombed her crew, some of whom were not rescued until days after the attack. Maryland, California, West Virginia, and Tennessee were sunk but settled easily to the bottom. Nevada managed to make a run for it but was was hit and grounded herself to avoid blocking the harbor. Pennsylvania could not run because she was in drydock, but neither could she be sunk, and her anti-aircraft gunners fought off the Japanese successfully.
