Japanese Imperial Navy battleships

It is mention in Lightning in the night book that the Japanese Imperial Navy by the eve of war on Augusts 1st 1945, have 18 battleships in service, of them only 3 are named with the rest not.This is my assumption of the remainder of them using what was being built in 1940 at the time of the writing on the book, what was under conduction like all four Yamato-class battleship and four battleships that are not mention but mostly likely are built in the period of 1940 to 1945.
