USS Alabama (BB-8)
.... (Wikipedia)
.... the battleship was finally decommissioned on 7 May 1920. On 15 
September 1921, Alabama was transferred to the War Department to be used 
as a target, and her name was struck from the Naval Vessel Register. 
Subjected to aerial bombing tests in Chesapeake Bay by planes of the 
Army Air Corps, the former warship sank in shallow water on 27 September 
1921. On 19 March 1924, her sunken hulk was sold for scrap.
