Do you have a good reference site about salvage operations at Pearl Harbor after the attack?

Good book by a Navy Salvage diver at Pearl arbor:
Descent into Darkness Pearl Harbor,
1941 (The True Story of a Navy Diver)
by Edward C Raymer .
He writes about being the first diver aboard the Arizona, finding bodies floating on the overhead, and skeleton fingers making a “tinkling sound” as they brushed his helmet
