Early ship plans for BB-39 (USS Arizona) c. 1915-1920?

I know that the Arizona had torpedo blisters added to her hull at one point and the the deck of the ship had been modified over the years as well (including the replacement of her original masts).

Would any of you know where to find general drawings/plans of the ship for the time period in the title? That would have been before a lot of the modifications to her were done. (less bulbous hull), different masts and superstructure, etc.

So, I found that floating dry dock has plans of the Arizona in 1921 configuration and 1941. Have any of you purchased these plans? Do you know if they have the fairing (hull contour) line plans?

Yesterday I also stumbled across a Polish book publisher that does plans as well.

You can see in one of the images on the page that that particular ship plan has the hull contour lines. He does offer an Arizona 1941 plan set. If I can get the hull contour lines I wonder how difficult it would be to remove the torpedo blister.

I think D.A.N.S.F. has drawings of Pennsylvania.
