The main damage from the explosion is to the bow section of the ship.

The bow section offered a good view on all sides except in the direction of the stern.

The bow section of the sub is still there, but split open.

Her entire bow section had been torn free, stood nose out of the water a short distance off.

Appears to be the bow section of a small vessel.

On 28 May 1954, the bow section was raised and taken away to be scrapped.

At some point, the ship separated, leaving only the bow section visible.

But it was quickly clear that the ship had broken her back, and the bow section came to rest in 450m of water.

On the other hand, it might be risky now for the captain to get down to the bow section.

This alone, almost certainly, would blow off the entire bow section of the boat.
