I hear ya, Dread almost 1000 posts! Not senior members yet either!

Oh, there are still some BB's around, but you will need a wet suit (or a mini sub) to see them. There is Royal (or should I say, Royaled) Oak, at Scarpa Flow, Barham in the Med (can't be too good, her Mags blew), Hood in the Denmark Starits (see comment on Barham), POW and Repulse in Malaaca, and of course, Invincible, Indefatigable and Queen Mary some where in the North Sea.
Reason the Brits did not save any, was that since the British Empire had paid for them, and very soon after WWII, the Empire went belly up. Needed the money.
