My dad, I think was on this ship. He joined the Navy in 1942. Is there any way to find his name and maybe a picture of him in it with the crew?

MY DAD WAS WILLIE JOE WRIGHT AND HE WAS CHIEF FIRE CONTROL ON BOARD THE SHIP FROM THE START OF THE WAR. I THINK HE WAS ONE OF THOSE 119 INJURED WHEN HE HAD BOTH ARMS BROKE AND WAS BURNED. IN A WASHINGTON HOSPITAL WHEN FDR DIED AND HE JUST MISSED BEING A HONOR GUARD DURING THOSE SERVICES. JUST CHECKING IF ANYONE KNOWS MORE DETAILS DURING THAT EVENT WHEN THE SHIP WAS HIT.
