Hi Jeff,
No Pacflt battleships yet. Unfortunately!
The only color pic of a MS-1 battleship in 1941 that I’m aware of is this shot from USS New York showing USS Arkansas, USS Brooklyn, USS Savannah. Dated July, 1941.

Your work at the Archives has produced some really novel ca. summer 1941 Pacific Fleet photos. Many thanks!
Have you ever found a Kodachrome color photo of one of the MS1 Pac Fleet BBs taken before Dec 7th? The only one I have seen is the one that shows the Atlantic Fleet's Arkansas still with her cage mast. She is anchored in (I believe) Placentia Bay, and she is only a small detail in a large panorama, but it shows what these big ships looked like in this paint.
