Can somebody point me to that picture of the pennsylvania in drydock with the aft torpedo damage that almost sank her? (the 1945 pic not the absd pic) I am looking for torpedo damage pics.

sorry - had a great answer to a question you didn't ask.
I haven't been able to find pics of the damage itself either.

You might find a damage report with pictures at a NARA branch; I'd say NARA II is the most likely unless you can nail down the chain of command for the repair "activities" (bases,etc.) that would have worked on her and where those records might have wound up. I'm still betting NARA II in college park.

Re: torpedo pic
Friedman's battleship design book has a entire appendix devoted to this damage, although no pictures.
Friedman says the damage there was ultimately the reason the ship was scuttled, and not her Bikini damage.

If an unfriendly power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.
