Small craft standing by West Virginia (BB-48) as burning oil drifts past the sunken battleship, shortly after the end of the Japanese air raid. USS Tennessee (BB-43) is moored on West Virginia's starboard side. Both ships are shrouded in smoke from the burning USS Arizona (BB-39), out of view to the right. The censor has blotted out a sailor who is being rescued by the craft in the center. Note the radar antenna atop the leftmost mast of USS West Virginia.
