Status: offline 		Yes, these 4 US Battleships, that served during World War I, were converted to be used for target practice, both land and aerial, by the US military in the early 1920's.  The designators for these ships were:
 
BB -2 - USS Massachusetts
BB - 4 - USS Iowa
BB -13 - USS Virginia
BB - 14 - USS New Jersey
 
It may be of interest that BB-62 is also named USS New Jersey and is now a museum ship at Camden, NJ. http://www.battleshipnewjersey.org/

West Virginia
Illinois
Louisiana
Nevada

Listed from East to West which has nothing to do with commonality, except to let you know that the original order does matter.
