“APOLLO 13 VIEW OF DAMAGED SM----This view of the severely damaged Apollo 13 Service Module, with the Moon in the distant background, was photographed from the Lunar Module following SM jettisoning. The Command Module, still docked with the LM, is in the foreground. An entire panel on the SM was blown away by the apparent explosion of oxygen tank number two located in Sector 4 of the SM. Three fuel cells, two oxygen tanks, and two hydrogen tanks are located in Sector 4. The damaged area is forward (above) the S-Band high gain antenna. The damage to the SM caused the Apollo 13 crewman to use the Lunar Module as a “lifeboat”. The LM was jettisoned just prior to Earth reentry by the CM.”
A red letter day! Refreshingly well-written & legitimately informative...and...hopefully, correct.
Also (a cleaned up version), which even provides a bit of additional context. Somebody pinch me!:

Great raw version that explains the slightly uneven photo border & artifact just above the SM:
