A black and white image of the repair progress on the USS Witter. The white labeling in the upper right corner reads: "U.S.S. Witter (DE 636) stbd., looking aft. + up, viewing progress of repairs, docked in AG 70 off Okinawa, taken June 1945, P.N.Y. no. 1621-45, photo. no. 9." The photo appears to show where damaged panels have been removed from the hull of the ship so that the "ribs" are visible as well as some of the inner sections of the ship. The reverse of the photo is stamped "Official photograph; not to be released for publication."
