Finding it difficult to find references on the pensalvania bb38 regarding its colour scheem, As all pics are black and white Id assumed it had teak deck. However its just been pointed out to me it might have had its deck painted blue in the 1944 time scale Im building .Eg Layte gulf period.
Any advice much appreciated

The Pennsylvania wore Measure 21 in which all of the horizontal surfaces were painted Deck Blue, 20-B.

Here is a link that outlines the measure.
