Salvage of USS Oklahoma (BB-37), 1942-44
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 Historical Center.
