While the Whiskey and Might Mo are considered in reserve they are doubtful to say the least. The only battleships in existence are the US ones and the only old dreadnaught is the USS Texas.
There are ones like the Bismarck preserved in the Davy Jones locker museum.
There is also the British built Japanese flagship at Tsushima the Mikasa a pre dreadnaught and the second class battleship ergo armored cruiser Georgos Averroff of the Greek Navy, both as museum ships.
I was invited to join all the crews of the USS Wisconsin for her last ride from the Norfolk Navy yard to the Nautica museum and it was very cool. One of the Stories I wrote a female editor added a cut in the title calling it one of the navy’s most powerful “destroyers”. Needless to say she could not see what the problem was as if it was no big deal like wearing the wrong colored shows with an outfit or other “really relevant things!” When I explained it was like wearing white after Labor Day she apologized.
