This is a shot of Torsk's port bow. Her chin sonar dome can be seen, as well as the port side torpedo tube shutter doors.
The bow of Lightship Chesapeake can be seen to the left.
A shot of the Bullnose - the upper tip of Torsk's bow. The hole is for passing a towing line through, or a mooring line
Another shot of the bow, taken lower down.
A view down the port side looking forward.
The long "fin" curving down the hull is known as the "Bilge Keel", intended to reduce rolling
