USN:
Submarine lookout scans the skies from his platform on the periscope shears during WW II
North African Invasion, November 1942 Casablanca harbour, Morocco, and vicinity on 16 November 1942, eight days after the 8 November invasion and naval battle there. Among the ships outside the harbour entrance are three U.S. Navy destroyers, a minesweeper and (in center) the torpedoed USS Electra (AK-21) with USS Cherokee (AT-66) off her bow.
Closer to shore are three beached French warships (from right to left): light cruiser Primauguet, destroyer Albatros and destroyer Milan. Inside the harbour, with sterns toward the outer breakwater, are eight U.S. Navy ships. They are (from left to right): two minesweepers, USS Terror (CM-4), USS Brooklyn (CL-40), USS Chenango (ACV-28) with a destroyer tied to her starboard side, USS Augusta CA-31) and a transport. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.

The U.S. Navy heavy cruiser USS Canberra (CA-70) under tow toward Ulithi Atoll after she was torpedoed while operating off Okinawa. The light cruiser USS Houston (CL-81), also torpedoed and under tow, is in the right background. Canberra was hit amidships on 13 October 1944. Houston was torpedoed twice, amidships on 14 October and aft on 16 October. The tugs may be USS Munsee (ATF-107), which towed Canberra, and USS Pawnee (ATF-74).
USS Iowa in heavy seas in 1946. Storm damaged 20mm gun shields, 2 motor whale-boats, loss of life rafts & floater nets, & the loss of the spare OS2U Kingfisher float plane BuNO 01476. Iowa had steamed 100,000mi since entering the Pacific eleven and a half months ago. Image: Iowa in heavy seas 26 Jan 1946.

USN:
USS Wedderburn (DD-684) Description: Firing her 5/38 guns at a target drone aircraft, during exercises, 21 August 1964. The ship following next astern is USS Porterfield (DD-682). The relative positions of Wedderburn's signal flags, with the port side red Bravo flag hoisted higher, indicate that the ship is firing to port. Evenly hoisted flags on Porterfield indicate that her guns are not yet trained out. Photographed by PH2 R.D. Fennell. Official U.S. Navy Photograph. Catalog #: USN 1107281
USS Los Angeles (CA-135) undergoing reactivation, Dec 5, 1950.

Imperial Japan:
Armoured cruiser IJN Iwate, port quarter view taken in the Panama Canal, 7 August 1922. The ship was bombed during the American aerial attack on Kure on 24 July 1945. While not hit by any bombs, the three near misses sprang the ship's seams and the resulting flooding caused her to sink in shallow water at coordinates 34°14′N 132°30′E the following day. She was removed from the navy list on 30 November and her hulk was raised and scrapped in 1946–47 by the Harima Dock Company.
