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.

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!

Does anyone know what is highlighted in the red circle?

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.

Thanks, will look closer later.
At first glance, I thought they had brought up the whole ship.

It appears that there was an explosion on the starboard side with a lot of intense heat which burned the paint off beside blowing the ship apart a little aft of its mid point.

I firmly believe the rat bastard Korean communists sank that vessel. No question. I believe those scumbags in their military and government have a long deserved beat down coming in their future.
In payback for the crew of the USS Pueblo (my father was an acquaintance of the skipper, CDR Bucher) and the murdered crew of the EC-121 that was shot down in 1969, I believe they have it coming.
I still think we should send in a B-1 with about ten MK84 JDAMS to put the poor USS Pueblo to rest.

That is massive catastrophic destruction. That ship went down very fast.
And the blow came from below, there is no indication of fire on the upper surfaces of the ship indicating destruction from above, and destroyers don’t just cut themselves in half behind the conning tower.
Torpedo.

My compliments to the South Koreans: that was a very skillful and professional recovery job.
As I wrote earlier, (based on review of the Pohang class, and on stern section damage alone) the blast was placed (fore-aft) beneath the stack, possibly toward its forward end. And it was almost centered under the keel.
It's particularly useful that they recovered and photographed the stack section. I'll try piecing together a composite photo to see what that shows. If anything illuminating is revealed, I'll share it here......
My guess is that even the largest carrier would have difficulty surviving an explosion of that magnitude and placement.

I hope the missing sailors' remains were all recovered.
