Just excellent beyond belief. What were all the ships we lost again? I forget all the names?

Depends what you mean by "lost". Only a few were damaged beyond repair. As far as the capital ships:

Arizona was destroyed and remained where it is today.

Nevada actually got underway and was beached to avoid blocking the channel. It was repaired and took part in action in the war, participating in Overlord, June 6, 1944.

Oklahoma was eventually righted and was being towed to San Diego for extensive repairs when it was caught in a storm and sunk. Still pisses me off when I think about what those guys trapped inside the OK went through after the attack.

Utah was sunk and also kept where it is today.

West Virginia, Maryland, California, Tennessee were all repaired and saw action I think.

Pennsylvania was in dry dock and also came back in to service.
