A black and white image of the repair progress on the USS Witter. The white label in the lower right corner reads: "U.S.S. Witter )DE 636), showing progress of repairs, docked in AG 70 off Okinawa, looking fwd. viewing stbd. bottom, taken June 1945, P.N.Y. no. 1621-45, photo. no. 10." The image appears to show where several damaged panels have been removed, exposing the underlying structure of the hull. There is a man partially visible along the right side of the photo. The reverse of the photo is stamped "Official photograph; not to be released for publication."
