No, they have all been decommissioned, but three, the USS WISCONSIN, USS NEW JERSEY, USS IOWA are all in a standby status with the Navy. The Department of the Navy can recall them to active duty if there is a reason for them. If you remember the first gulf war the IOWA was recalled to active duty. The three are in museum status and are maintained to a degree that they could be brought back to service without too much trouble.

Yes, and No
The Battleships that are on Museum Status are De-commissioned BUT they COULD be put back in usable order if need be. They are NOT given to the Museums they are LOANED. If the need ever got great enough these Lovely Monstrous Ladies could fight again.

The traditional battleships have all been decommissioned.
A few of the surviving ones are now floating museums.

They are all gone. Mighty Mo was the last one and she was brought in next to the USS Arizona a few years back.

They've all been de-commissioned! We still have heavy cruisers though and with their missile systems they'd make short work of battle ships anyway!

there is exactly ONE BB still comissioned:
the USS ARIZONA.
all the rest have been turned into floating museums, like the WISCONSIN in Norfolk and the MISSOURI in Pearl Harbor; or have been scrapped.
