Overall view of the area aft of the hatch. The hemisphere with the white ring is the sea recovery tether ring. The two dark circles are the positive pitch thrusters. Two EVA handles can be seen at right. The EVA handles would be used in the event of an emergency transfer from the lunar module to the command module.
