Land Battlefields can be cleaned up and the fallen soldiers can be buried in Military Cemetaries, this is impossible to Victims of Sea Battles, their ship is their Coffin so it should be treated as an official war grave / military cemetary as it always was.

Arizona is a dedicated War Grave,
Aboukir,
Cressy and
Hogue were sold as scrap by their own government. If you cannot see any difference between the two...
Besides,
Arizona is an environmental disaster waiting to happen as she continues to deteriorate exposing her fuel bunkers. At some point something will need to be done. Perhaps, in your view, they should have left
Oklahoma where she was?
The needs of the living should always take priority over the dead who have no more needs. Remembrance is about what we do not where we do it.
