David, I've just started my research, I've found what should be three definitive shots of what she looked like on the raid.... Dated April 1st 1942 in San Francisco Bay just getting underway.... Very clean shots with a neutral grey foggy background... Unfortunately they are all port side shots... Still looking for a decent pic of her starboard side..... I also have a single shot of her stern when she was at Kiska bombarding the Japanese garrison there in August... I'll assume she was the same port and starboard as far as armament for now as a preliminary condition and she does have only her port boat crane... (part of the King Board antiaircraft modifications she received in 1940) I haven't gotten around to optimizing them yet for posting here but I will post their numbers....
San Francisco Bay, April 1st 1942... (the date she left with the Hornet on the raid)
19-N-28991, 19-N-28992 & 19-N-28993
Shelling off Kiska Alaska August 8th, 1942...
NH 50768
Put any of them numbers into google and it should pull them up on the NNHC site and you can download the high res TIFF versions.....
Still building the USS Gwin on April 18th 1942 so this is just doing research right now in preparation for the future....
You should bring her down and finish her....
I forgot about this one that Rick posted a decent sized crop of, 80-G-324222, dated April 18th 1942 showing her starboard side....

The camo pattern isn't an issue.....
