I am trying to compile some old photos of the USS South Dakota. My grandfateher was on there during WW2. He would never talk about it and after researching it I can understand why. She went threw a lot in her commision. I really want some photos of sailors on the ship performing there everyday task. I think these may be hard to come by but what the hey. Any help would be benifical.

The following Navy websites have some photos of the South Dakota, although not photos of everyday life aboard the ship:

Naval Historical Center: USS South Dakota (BB-57), 1942-1962
