The cruiser USS St. Louis Photo taken August 19 1943 at Mare Island. Elevated view looking forward showing the damage sustained from a torpedo hit during the Battle of Kolombangara (in the central Solomon Islands).

Note the white line in the picture. That's the center line of the hull. The torpedo knocked the bow almost 13 ft to the left.
