MANAMA, Bahrain (April 26, 2009) -- An opening cut by divers around a
16 by 18 foot hole before dry-docking the amphibious transport dock
ship USS New Orleans (LPD 18) is visible while evaluating the ship. New
Orleans was damaged during a collision with the Los Angeles class
attack submarine USS Hartford (SSN 768) in the Strait of Hormuz March
20, 2009. The ship arrived to the Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard
dry-dock facility April 25 to repair the damage. U.S. Navy photo
