The true modern battleship will be a Kirov class cruiser. It's the largest non-aviation warship today.

The Navy owns Iowa and Wisconsin. The Navy no longer has custody of New Jersey or Missouri. Iowa and Wisconsin are by law, to be ready for duty in a short amount of time. Sorry to say the Navy has more or less chosen to ignore this law, at least in regards to Iowa. Wisconsin is in good shape and all but the weather deck is closed to the public.

Yes, the USS NJ is in Camden water front in New Jersey just about and hour and a half from my house, I see her sitting there but i've never actually visited it, but I have always wanted to. It is sad to see a such a powerful and iconic ship being retired. And even though the age of the battle ship passed about 80 years ago, battleships were, and are still such an icon and symbol of American naval might.

I am sorry to say they are all retired. there were 6 iowa class battleships planned and 4 completed . these were the Iowa, Missouri,Winsconsin and the New Jersy. 3 of them are now museums and the Iowa is soon to be turned into one. The US navy retains them for possible reactivation in the event of a war but with the soviet unions collapse and no imediate need for such vessels in modern naval requirements I doubt it

They Iowa class are truly some of the most amazing battleships in service and can quite easily be listed in the ranks of ships such as the hood or the warspite. But I like to think that they have a position of their own as they have out served and out lived them all

a carrier is a carrier is a carrier , a carrier doesn't scare the crap out of ya if u happen to be walking down the pier at night and don't expect it being there like a battleship does
