Technically, the USS Pennsylvania. I believe USS Wyoming fired more but had been reclassified from battleship to gunnery training ship, and thus was no longer truly a battleship.

My answer was the Wyoming.  Interesting about the reclassification, I'll have to look into that.  Thanks

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Wyoming_(BB-32)

 

She was reclassified from BB-32 to AG-17 in 1931.  As part of the conversion, 3 of her 6 main battery turrets were removed, as well as her armor belt.  She might have lost boilers and shafts as well but I am not positive.
