Description American naval personnel examine the hole caused by a torpedo hit in the hull of the heavy cruiser USS Chester (CA-27) in Sutherland dock of the Cockatoo Island Dockyard, Sydney (Australia). While cruising in support of the operations in the Solomons, Chester was hit by a torpedo from the Japanese submarine I-176 on the starboard side, amidships on 20 October 1942 which killed 11 and wounded 12.
