By the end of WWII, it is noted that the era of the battleship was largely over, as very few battleships continued to serve during the post war era. With a POD of September 1, 1939, what is the most possible number of battleships and battlecruisers deployed by the Allies and Axis powers during World War II that can sunk or destroyed by the end of the war? Would any particular sinking have a significant impact on this alternate WWII? How would each warship be sunk? Conversions to something such as aircraft carriers, unrealistic scuttling, and the sinking of pre-war museum ships don't count.
The stipulation is WWII must end more or less the same way as OTL (unconditional surrenders of Germany and Japan, surrender of Italy) by September 1, 1946.
Note: TS stands for training ship. They have been added because they are battleship hulls and they make things interesting.
