Hi Art,
You can pay for a vendor to copy the best possible version of this film from the Archives and hope and pray it is much better quality than this.
Unfortunately, it's not cheap to do this.
Check out the rafts on top of USS Astoria's #1 turret. They appear to be stripped.

Jeff,
These are amazing, and would be a big help in building a Yorktown or an Astoria. Is there a way to get good prints of the shots?
Thanks again,

Task Force 17 returned to Pearl harbor from the battle of the Coral Sea.
This would be Yorktown's final time she would ever enter Pearl Harbor. She would sail clockwise around Ford Island, past her sister, on her way to the Navy Yard for repairs.
USS Astoria would come in taking a counter clockwise direction around Ford Island on her way to her berth.
Followed by Destroyers
