Only the battleship USS Nevada was able to get "under way." She just about made it, but had taken so many hits that she began to sink. Her commander grounded her so she wouldn't block the harbor entrance, when she did sink. As an ironic twist of fate; after the war, two of the battleships that ultimately survived (refloated and/or repaired) the Pearl Harbor attack, the USS Nevada and the USS Pennsylvania were sunk in the Pacific Ocean as targets.
