What was the ONLY US battleship to engage an enemy battleship in direct combat during World War 2?

USN Admiral Oldendorf had SIX US battleships engage two IJN battlewagons under Admiral Nishimura on 25 October 1944 at Surigao Strait. Battleship USS South Dakota was shot to pieces by IJN Kirishima's 14 inch guns at Guadalcanal in '42. Battleship USS Washington snuck up on the Kirishima (while she was blasting the SODAK) and blasted it to a wreck during the same battle.
