Trivia time, what was the last in commission BB sunk for reasons other than training or scuttling?

EDIT: Oh, wait, only US ships? If not, I do believe the Novorossiysk (Formerly the Giulio Cesare) exploded and sank around 1955...

Ok, before you all laugh, I seem to remember being asked years ago, "if a bumble bee hit and ocean going liner head on at sea" that both would actually stop for an instance, heh. Maybe the battle ship would move slightly to one side while firing a broadside, I know I move slightly foreward when expelling sudden and violet gusts of gas, it's relative.

Either it was my fat finger typing 16 vice 61 or it was my dyslexia "seeing" 16 vice 61 or just my land lubbing ignorance, but in any case Mea Culpa for my mistake.  There is a big difference between BB-16 and BB-61
