Seriously crippling the old BBs is giving the allied players far mor headache then sinking them. You'll need the PH shipyard a lot and those BBs are "blocking" far too much space. Sending them back to the US isn't an option before they are repaired quite a bit. And if they are back for action, they have long upgrade times.

After upgrading (you can expect them to get ready sometime in mid to late '43), you get some slow BBs with very low crew experience who sometimes make you wonder, if they are even hitting the island they should bombard (and in some cases, with like no tower armor anymore - Nevada class). [:D]
