US won the "Battle of Okinawa". which lasted from April-June in 1945
Okinawa was an Army campaign, under General Simon B. Buckner Jr., commander of the US Army's 10th Army. Iwo Jima was a Marine Corps campaign. However, Marines did fight on Okinawa; see the website "Battle of Okinawa", then look at the referrences at the bottom of the article for research material on the US Marines (at Okinawa).
Okinawa was part of Japan until it was overrun by the United States during world war II.

The old dreadnaught Texas was there. Any of the old US Navy battleships were sent to the Atlantic, the new ones had to fight in the Pacific. The old US Battleships were simply "targets" in the Pacific.

48 states of the United States are the names of US Navy battleships. The battleships Alaska and Hawaii do not exist nor never existed because they were NOT states until 1959; battleships were no longer built after 1945. Battlecruisers (called LARGE cruisers in the US Navy) Alaska & Guam were completed; Hawaii never was. With the exception of the USS Kearsarge, all US battlewagons were named after US states. From the USS Delaware to the USS New Jersey (the only United States battleship to fight in the Vietnam War).
All Battleships in the US Navy were given the names of States. Cruisers were named after Cities.

Two Battleships were destroyed at Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona and the USS Oklahoma.
Battleships are indicated by a BB as their designation. Currently the US does not have any active duty battleships. Today's cruisers have as much capability, and are as large, as some of the earlier battleships.
For the USMC it was Iwo Jima. For the US Army & US Navy it was Okinawa. The kamikazes did most of the damage at Okinawa.
