Youch! I’m sure that didn’t buff right out. I assume the bulge just behind all the visible damage is structural damage?

They cut the front end off the USS Honolulu and used it to replace the damaged front end of the San Francisco. Yes, the whole front end of the Frisco was warped and buckled.

One crewman died, and most everyone else was injured in one form or another.
