I'm looking for two pictures from WWII, one I know for fact exists, and one I'm sure I've seen, but my brain may be playing tricks. The first is called "A Sister's Revenge" and is a picture of the U.S.S. Pennsylvania as she sails past her sister ship the U.S.S. Arizona shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The second image is of the U.S.S. Enterprise, CV-6. In 1942 when she was the only operational U.S. carrier in the pacific, the sailors revealed a sign on her deck which read "Enterprise vs. Japan." I'm almost certain I've seen a picture of it, but can't find it anymore, I might be mis-remembering.

Can anyone help me find these?
Thanks!
my father was on the Pennsylvania during pearl harbor attack i would like to see pics as well
Sources indicate that the "Enterprise vs. Japan" sign was posted on the flight deck right after the Battle of Santa Cruz, when the Enterprise was the only American carrier still battle-worthy.
I could not find the actual photographs of either of these things.
