DAMAGE ABOARD SKATE. A specially-trained 

 monitor from the Radiological Safety Group uses 

 a Geiger counter to measure the radioactivity on 

 the wrecked bow section of the submarine "Skate." 

 The photograph reveals the extent to which the 

 submarine's superstructure was stripped away, ex- 



posing the pressure hull. During Admiral Blandy's 

 initial tour of inspection of the target area, the 

 "Skate" was too "hot" to be boarded. When 

 Geiger counters were brought near her by moni- 

 tors in the inspecting picket boat the counters' 

 indicator-needles were driven off scale.
