Not sure if this counts, but according to the site, Nagato is also around:
"On 28 July 1946 the underwater bomb Able was detonated; Nagato received only a little damage in this explosion. Two days later Baker was released and Nagato sank shortly after in the deep at the Bikini atoll. The wreck of Nagato rest in a good condition in deep waters..."
EDIT: THis one is real.
"Today, the Nagato rests upside down in 180 feet of water. The 708 foot long hull is intact, and rests on the ship's massive superstructure. This allows access to all four of her twin 16" turrets, which did not fall off when the ship capsised, as is often the case. The bridge snapped off when she settled, and it laysnext to the rest of the wreck, giving divers the oportunity to swim where Yamamoto stood when he launched the Pearl Harbor attack. The water is warm, with plenty of ambient light. Nagato is, without a doubt, the best battleship dive in the world."
There are some photos of her, also.
