If you take note....there is a missing torpedo shutter. There are six shutters in the bow. You see only two shutters on the starboard side in the picture above. In between these two was another shutter. It is not as bad as it looks although new sheet metal would be the tops! Welding work begins this week so I'm told. In all reality the stern needs a sheet of steel. The bow is in wonderful shape compared to the port stern. A cathodic protection system is being installed as well.
