How many U.S. battleships still exist?

The specific number of existing U.S. battleships is unknown, but the U.S. Navy currently maintains a formidable fleet. However, it's worth noting that the term "battleship" has become outdated, and modern navies, including the U.S. Navy, primarily consist of more advanced and versatile ships such as aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, and submarines. Additionally, many older battleships have been decommissioned or are in museums.
