Ships seen are (from left to right): Nevada (BB-36), Arizona (BB-39) with Vestal (AR-4) moored outboard; Tennessee (BB-43) with West Virginia (BB-48) moored outboard; Maryland (BB-46) with Oklahoma (BB-37) moored outboard; and Neosho (AO-23), only partially visible at the extreme right. A bomb has just hit Arizona near the stern, but she has not yet received the bomb that detonated her forward magazines. West Virginia and Oklahoma are gushing oil from their many torpedo hits and are listing to port. Oklahoma's port deck edge is already under water. Nevada has also been torpedoed.

Damage to the forecastle deck of Nevada (BB-36), caused by the explosion of a Japanese bomb below decks. Gun barrels of the battleship's forward 14"/45 triple turret are in the background. Photographed on 12 December 1941 from on board Rail (AM-26), which was tied up alongside Nevada's starboard bow, assisting with salvage efforts. Note officer in center, wearing a .45 caliber pistol.

Did these ships have naked wood decks or were they stained darker ? Especially Nevada and Oklahoma.
