HMS Vanguard in 1946.
My favourite battleship never fired a shot in anger.

Experimental camouflage tested on battleship USS New Jersey, circa 1918.
According to navsource.org, this camouflage was called a MacKay "disruptive low-visibility pattern" and the other battleship astern of the New Jersey was probably the USS Rhode Island.
