Raising the other sunken battleships at Pearl was a massive undertaking, the damage to Arizona was so much worse that the effort to raise her was never made although some of her guns and other equipment were salvaged.  Also, by the time they would have gotten to Arizona large amounts of new-build ships were getting to the Pacific Fleet, and those older classes of battleships were too slow to steam with the fast carrier groups.  Most of their wartime service was shore bombardment.
