Usaf- I'll wade through them on pc. **edit** well that didn't take long, I just narrowed down half my photos with one comparison pic. Thanks.
It does have to be NY unfortunately, she and Texas appear to have had some distinct differences in their time in the pacific. We know for sure these are NY, and we have a NET/NLT time frame, im hoping that we can narrow it down farther based on the placement of AA guns. I'm also trying to find firm dates on when she moved between pearl and the west coast.
I'm hoping I get permission to share the pictures I've got, theyre unpublished at this point. We did ID one of USS Arkansas between Sept and Feb of 20-21. There's a ton of others. I've volunteered to try and help date them.
