Taxied into by another aircraft?

No, wait. . .

Was she strapped incorrectly to the hangar deck elevator and got her nose whacked off?

The plane wasn't square on the elevator and when they raised it to flight deck the nose hit?

Did someone try to tow it under a helio's rotors, or was it unchocked on the elevator when the boat heaved and the elevator was going up?

GW tried a 'Mission Accomplished' landing by himself. Missed the first cable, slammed into the net., that wripped out and she slid into a Hawkeye queing up for launch then bounced off of that and slid onto an elevator which was on its way up.., and got its nose pinched off which fell onto a bunch of marines drinking warm beer.., the gunny fell off his 50 gal fuel barrel and bruised his 'drinking' elbow and they were all so p-o'd they began to throw their empties and some full ones at the aircraft.., hence all the damage to around the nose.
