USS Oglala (CM-4)
Closeup view of torpedo damage to the ship's port side midships
hull, taken on 4 July 1942 in drydock at the Pearl Harbor Navy
Yard.
Oglala had been sunk beside Pearl Harbor's 1010 dock during
the 7 December 1941 Japanese attack, but was not herself directly
hit. The heavy damage to her hull seen here was caused by the
explosion a aerial torpedo on USS Helena (CL-50), which
was alongside some eight feet distant from Oglala.
