Photograph by Chris Tyree with caption in a slide show that accompanied the online version of the 21 March 2005 article by Scott Harper in the Virginian-Pilot; the slide show was no longer available on 8 March 2006 (28), but part of the slide show that includes this photo and caption is at http://navy.memorieshop.com/Brownsville/Slides-1.html. Note that the hull was also cut while a ship was in-water at Bay Bridge Enterprises in Virginia; doing so can introduce metal slag into the water that can cause contamination.
