Battleship USS Nevada was sunk twice; at Pearl Harbor she grounded herself, so she wouldn't sink in the channel, thus blocking it. After WW2, she was sunk as a gunnery target in the Pacific. Battleship USS Oklahoma was sunk at Pearl Harbor; sold for re-cycling (scrap), she sunk while under tow to California, half way out from Hawaii.
