It's highly probable that the last battleships; USS Pennsylvania, USS New York, USS Arkansas, USS Nevada, and the battleship IJN Nagato were the last battleships ever sunk. These vessels were sunk during tests (target practice) from 1946 thru 1948.

The only record of a battleship being sunk in May 2009 is the WW2 battleship AP-145 (known as both the USS Gen. Harry Taylor and the USNS Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg) which was sunk off the Florida coast to provide an artificial reef on May 27, 2009.
