Yikes! Way to many pictures. People on dial up will never get it loaded.

Very interesting though.

Hopefully this will allow the South Koreans to figure out the impact point and size of the explosive to prove that it was an external explosion, how big it was and how close to the ship it was when it detonated. It would be nice to figure out if it was a torpedo, relatively recent mine or an old on left over from the war.

Wow...what great pictures!

I forgot to add...

That crane on the different barges is proably more impressive than the ship...the half a ship.

In the explosion caused the metal to be bent inboard it was a mine or a torpedo!

External explosion on the port side, just behind the tower.

WTF happened to the Bofors?

It looks like the filled it with a fiaming urethane compound that seeped out.

However, one of the turrets looks like it was blown outward with explosive force.

"WTF happened to the Bofors?"

I was wondering the same thing...secondary ammunition explosion, maybe?

The circled red thing is a Torpedo launcher

Two torpedoes from the ship were missing and they were found to be at the location marked with the red circle.

Or, it could have busted when the hull hit the bottom. I don’t know.

But if it landed upside down, the tower would be crushed - so that seems not likely.

Yeah I see that... curious... Was it a gun turret or a radar director thingy? Great photos TLR.

Yes....talk about heavy equipment. Did you see the size of those chains? I’m impressed.

Actually, on a second look, the turret is definitely blown outward.
