Check out the link on an earlier thread  by aurora7 from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin on Dec. 7, 2006. It had a drawing of  the ARIZONA's colors plus pics of the new official museum model and the colors for battleship divisions.

Hi

 I saw it reported some time ago, that Arizona had red{same as insignia red?} turret tops. Is there any other colors used by the other BB's. particularly Pennsylvania?
