USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) after being torpedoed, Okinawa
Here we see the Pennsylvania class battleship USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) low in the water after being torpedoed at Buckner Bay Okinawa on 12 August 1945. Water is being pumped out of her, including through hoses fed through the barrels of her main gun, and one of her aircraft is being removed to save weight. Although the Pennsylviania survived and was able to make her way home under her own powere, she never returned to action.
