20+ years ago, as a grade school student, I photocopied a picture out of a library book showing an Iowa-class battleship exchanging salutes with an anchored aircraft carrier. What is unique about the photograph is that the battleship and carrier are side-by-side (UNREP distance or nearer), allowing for a nice size comparison (this image caused me to realize just how big an aircraft carrier really is, as it dwarfs the Iowa-class). The photocopy is somewhat fuzzy so I am unable to identify the Iowa-class. The carrier appears to be Enterprise. Like a stupid kid, I cut away the caption, so I can't provide that information. I think it's New Jersey and I think the occasion is the 1985 Peace in the Pacific celebration in San Francisco Bay (based on this image).
I'd really like to find an online source for the image I have the photocopy of. Have any of you seen this image?
