I remember when she was undergoing repairs in Drydock #4 at PSNS, Bremerton Wa.
They cut off the damaged section of the bow and grafted on the bow from the USS Honolulu which was already slated for decommissioning. Quite a lot of man-hours, craftsmanship and Cubic Dollars went into that grafting job!
