RN:
Twin 6pdr gun mounted on destroyer HMS Mackay in place of the original 120mm gun, Harwich, 15th Aug 1943
In an effort to combat against German E-Boots, several W-class destroyers (WWI-era ) and some other leaders had their forward 120mm gun exchanged with the rapid firing 6pdr (57mm) gun.
Kingfisher class sloop, HMS Puffin being surveyed after ramming a German Midget submarine. March 1945
During a patrol off the coast of Lowestoft on 26 March 1945, she spotted a Type XXVII "Seehund" and attempted to ram the vessel. While she did hit it, the impact caused the submarines torpedoes to detonate.
Despite surviving this encounter, she was considered too badly damaged to be worth repair and was subsequently written off.

USN:
Battleship USS Nevada on Fire at Pearl Harbor, Dec 7, 1941, with a letter from commander to his mother.
Admiral Harry L. Thompson, commanding from 15 December 1941 – 25 August 1942. He was on board as XO directing rescue when this photo was taken.
USS Arizona (BB-39) burning after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, 7 December 1941. In this image she is resting on the harbor bottom. The supporting structure of the forward tripod mast has collapsed after the forward magazine exploded.
15 August 1944, Canal du Segond, Vanuatu. USS Idaho (BB-42) is seen in the floating dry dock ABSD-1 of the Naval Advance Base Espiritu Santo during routine maintenance.
Ships of Task Group 38, operating off Okinawa during May 1945. Two U.S. Navy Curtiss SB2C-4 Helldiver dive bombers of Bombing Squadron 83 (VB-83) fly against the backdrop of ships of Task Group 38.3 operating off Okinawa. VB-83 operated from USS Essex (CV-9),pictured in foreground, during the period March-September 1945. Note the geometric identification symbols ("G-symbols") of the aircraft from the Essex. In the background are the battleship USS Washington (BB-56), a long-hull Essex-class carrier and an Independence-class light carrier.
