Back on December 29th, Chris Preston posed the question about what boats did USS West Virginia carry in 1941. That question spurred the discussion of PUNT boats on the BB's at the time and which ships carried them and where were they stowed.
I was just analyzing plans of USS Arizona dated 3/30/38 that Jim Azelton posted showing the boat deck at the time. This plan shows 2 14' PUNTS stacked on top of each other just aft the starboard side boat rack.
I was also able to confirm this info with a photo of this area which shows the two PUNTS indeed being stowed there.
Chris, I'm still looking for where West Virginia's was stowed.
