They found the USS Nevada off of Pearl Harbor.

Only battleship to get underway during the attack, raised and retrofitted with guns from the Arizona and Oklahoma, participate in the D-Day,  Iwo Jima, and Okinawa landings, didn't sink when hit with an A-bomb at Bikini, finally sunk after 4+ days of bombardment by the Navy 2 years later (she was radioactive at the time).
