That has been going around for a while, but it is very old/outdated info.

I live in Norfolk close to ex-USS Wisconsin and I can confirm that the ship is no longer on the registry/under Navy control. She belongs to the city of Norfolk. On 14 December 2009, the US Navy officially transferred her over, ending the requirement for the ship to be preserved for possible recall to active duty (see Wikipedia)
