| Keywords: blackandwhite monochrome vehicle outdoor black and white 330-PS-2419 (USN 708460): USS Ernest G. Small (DD 838). Efficiency in damage control is credited with saving the destroyer when she struck a mine off the coast of Korea on October 7, 1951. The bow of the destroyer was loosened by the blast and started to shake herself to pieces, endangering the rest of the ship. The watertight bulkhead just astern of the break was checked for possible leaks. The watertight bulkhead held out the seas while the destroyer steamed to Japan for temporary repairs. The destroyer is shown backing slowing toward Japan where temporary repairs were done to make the ship sea worthy for a trip to the United States. Photograph released December 18, 1951.
