USS Monitor
Only 4 battleships were and 2 of them were later raised and served in the war. The 8 battleships were : * USS Arizona (still at the bottom of the harbor), * USS Oklahoma (still at the bottom of the harbor), * USS West Virginia, * USS California, * USS Nevada (the only ship that tried to get out of the harbor), * USS Pennsylvania, * USS Maryland, * USS Tennessee. In the Navy, to be considered sunk a ship has to be fully under water. Pearl Harbor was so shallow when the Japanese attacked that the turrets of the ships that were hit where still sticking out of the water. So, in that technical sense, no ships were actually sunk
