Looks like it hit Engineering’s Berthing Compartment, Damage Control Maintenance but I can’t see what else might have been hit farther below the water line.

Maybe AUX 2? That is a real pain to dewater.

That looks to be about the area struck.

There are rumors that McCain suffered a loss of steering just before the collision, if so it may be an equipment malfunction at a critical time.
