Capsized battleship(s)

<HTML>I liked the movie \"Pearl Harbor\" notwithstanding many grossly inaccurate details. In my opinion the most chilling scenes were when they try, without result, to rescue the survivors of one capsized battleship (the “Oklahoma” in the picture, maybe the “Nevada” in the real?) AND the direct reference by F.D. Roosvelt in one of his presidential meetings after the attack, to the men trapped alive in the Arizona hull, just twenty meters below surface.
Historically I can remembere it happened many times again: when the \"Tirpitz\" capsized in 1944 in Tromso fjord (Norway) many were rescued and in the fifties, in a Black Sea Soviet Base, when the \"Novorossirsk\" (formerly Italian battleship \"Giulio Cesare\") exploded and capsized trapping inside four hundred men, and SIX were rescued by the Navy divers.
(If you read this, Jury from Moscow, please post your version)
