As for her being in the navy in 1997 - with the war start in 1996 the Marines would need fire support ships - most likely all four Iowa's came back in and they grabbed both of the CA's they still had in storage as well.
Have a feeling (since Korea wasnt detailed) that at least one BB is still in Korea, maybe more, basically stranded from the fuel situation from coming home (BB's use a LOT of fuel after all) and that others may have been lost in various fights
By the way that is one area that is about as flexible as it gets - outside of the US Vehicle Guide and the few timeline mentions in the original release there isnt much (except maybe on Challenger article) in the original version of game to detail Korea at all

Check the Navy stuff I did a while back: I have the battleship
Missouri and the Salem's sister ship
Des Moines in Korea. They're stranded at Chinhae, ROK due to lack of fuel.
