9 You can clearly see that the non-skid surface of the helicopter deck has been stripped off.
10 A damaged section of the teak deck, port side near Turret #3. This is where the teak ends. It looks like most, if not all, of the teak will need to be replaced.
11 Some of the superstructure, including the forward tower. Note that the top of the mast has been taken down to clear one of the Delaware River bridges. The yellow flag below the Stars and Stripes is the New Jersey state flag.
