BB 44, the USS California, was the fifth of seven US Navy ships to bear that name. She sank on "Battleship Row" beside Ford Island in the middle of Pearl Harbor. California was the southernmost of the seven battleships tied up on Battleship Row that morning, and sank at her moorings, settling to the shallow bottom on a more or less even keel. She was refloated and in drydock for repairs by March, 1942, and fought through the rest of the war. She was cut up for scrap in 1959.
