During the December 1942 repair at Mare Island, it was necessary to extensively rebuild the bridge.
The bridge wings were removed as part of that repair, and are now part of a memorial to the ship on a promontory in Lands End, San Francisco at Golden Gate National Recreation Area overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
One wing has extensive battle damage from the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal.
They are set on the great circle course from San Francisco to Guadalcanal.
The old ship's bell is housed at the Marines Memorial Club in San Francisco.
