Battleship USS Pennsylvania, sunk for target practice in the Pacific. 5. Battleship USS New York, sunk for target practice in the Pacific.

Of the 8 battleships, only 2 were lost permanently. Another 2 were "sunk" in shallow water, but later re-floated & repaired. Here is a brief summary of US ship losses & damage to the 8 battleships at Pearl Harbor: Battleship-USS Arizona, heavily damaged by bombs & sunk; 1,103 killed Battleship-USS Oklahoma, heavily damaged & sunk; 415 killed Battleship-USS West Virginia, heavily damaged by torpedoes & sunk; 106 killed Battleship-USS California, slowly sunk in very shallow water (easily raised); 98 killed Battleship-USS Nevada, damaged by bombs & torpedoes, beached (not sunk); 60 killed Battleship-USS Pennsylvania, slight damage; 29 killed Battleship-USS Tennessee, minor damage; 5 killed Battleship-USS Maryland, some damage; 4 killed Of the four sunk and one beached: 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 West Virginia required the most time & effort to repair & rebuild. The three battleships not sunk: USS Pennsylvania, USS Tennessee, and USS Maryland were all repaired and improved on the US west coast and returned to service in less than four months.

It's highly probable that the last battleships; USS Pennsylvania, USS New York, USS Arkansas, USS Nevada, and the battleship IJN Nagato were the last battleships ever sunk. These vessels were sunk during tests (target practice) from 1946 thru 1948.The only record of a battleship being sunk in May 2009 is the WW2 battleship AP-145 (known as both the USS Gen. Harry Taylor and the USNS Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg) which was sunk off the Florida coast to provide an artificial reef on May 27, 2009.
USN battleship USS New York (BB34), sunk in the Pacific as a target in 1948.
yes. The USS Arizona exploded and sank during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Here is a brief summary of US ship losses & damage to the 8 battleships at Pearl Harbor: Battleship-USS Arizona, heavily damaged by bombs & magazine explosion & sunk; 1,177 killed Battleship-USS Oklahoma, heavily damaged by 5 to 9 torpedoes, capsized & sunk; 429 killed Battleship-USS West Virginia, heavily damaged & sunk; 106 killed Battleship-USS California, 2 torpedoes & 2 bomb hits, sunk in shallow water 2 days later; 105 killed Battleship-USS Nevada, damaged by 2 torpedoes & 5 bombs; beached (not sunk); 57 killed Battleship-USS Pennsylvania, slight damage from bombs & strafing; 32 killed Battleship-USS Tennessee, 2 bomb hits, minor damage; 5 killed Battleship-USS Maryland, 2 bomb hits, some damage; 4 killed The USS Utah was previously an old battleship but with guns removed it was then a target ship. It received 2 torpedo hits then capsized & sank. 58 of her crew were killed.
Battleship USS Nevada was sunk twice; at Pearl Harbor she grounded herself, so she wouldn't sink in the channel, thus blocking it. After WW2, she was sunk as a gunnery target in the Pacific. Battleship USS Oklahoma was sunk at Pearl Harbor; sold for re-cycling (scrap), she sunk while under tow to California, half way out from Hawaii.
There's 3 US battleships at Pearl harbor; two sunk and one afloat: USS Arizona & USS Utah, and the USS Missouri.

The three battleships not sunk: USS Pennsylvania, USS Tennessee, and USS Maryland were all repaired and improved on the US west coast and returned to service in less than four months.
