Description: Aerial view from off the port side, 6 November 1943, after the ship had been refloated. Note the large cofferdam patch installed from frames 43 to 75 to seal the extensive torpedo damage in that area, and cofferdams built around the main deck edge by the after turrets to increase the waterplane area and improve stability during the refloating process. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
