At the end of World War II in September 1945, the United States had 23 battleships in active service. This included both modern battleships and those that had been refitted or repaired during the war. Many of these ships were later decommissioned or retired in the following years as naval warfare evolved.
The Germans started WW2 with 6 battleships. One, the Graf Spee was damaged and scuttled in the second month of war.
During World War II, numerous battleships were deployed by various nations, with major fleets including the United States, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. The exact number of battleships used is difficult to pinpoint, but it is estimated that around 60 battleships were actively involved in the conflict. The war saw both the construction of new battleships and the active service of pre-existing ones, reflecting their significant role in naval warfare during this period. Ultimately, the advent of aircraft carriers and submarines began to overshadow the battleship's prominence by the war's end.

Dreadnoughts.
USS Arizona, USS Utah, and USS Oklahoma are still on the bottom. However, the battleships USS Pennsylvania, USS New York, USS Nevada, and USS Arkansas are also on the bottom...sunk as targets after the war.
Who invented the war machines, tanks, battleships, and crossbow?
