Many battleships that were built were never in combat, and so were not damaged. The most recent was probably HMS Vanguard, which was completed after the end of World War II and never fired a shot in anger.

USS Arizona: along with the West Virginia and USS Oklahoma. Several other battleships were severely damaged.
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.
A difficult question because of differing opinions as to how to define "damage" and "sunk". Many ships had casualties and light damage that was repaired locally but the main casualties were as follows: Sunk and not returned to service: BB-37 Oklahoma (Battleship) BB-39 Arizona (Battleship) AG-16 Utah (Target ship) Sunk or Beached but Returned to Service: BB-36 Nevada (Battleship) BB-44 California (Battleship) BB-43 Tennessee (Battleship) BB-48 West Virginia (Battleship) CM-4 Oglala (Minelayer) AR-4 Vestal (Repair Ship) Heavily Damaged but Returned to Service: BB-38 Pennsylvania (Battleship) DD-372 Cassin (Destroyer) DD-373 Downes (Destroyer) DD-375 Shaw (Destroyer) Medium Damage: CL-7 Raleigh (Light Cruiser) CL-50 Helena (Light Cruiser) Light Damage: BB-46 Maryland (Battleship) CL-48 Honolulu (Light Cruiser) AV-4 Curtiss (Seaplane Tender) Cassin and Downes were completely rebuilt. Oklahoma was recovered but considered too old to repair. Totals 3 sunk, 15 damaged. Refence: Samuel Eliot Morison, HUSNOWWII
