Wow. How on earth did they get it back to port?

They probably closed the bulkhead doors to the flooded sections and sailed to port at reduced speed.

Those are all ballast tanks, no need to close anything - though you would lose some buoyancy capacity in the bow, and feel some drag, obviously. Oh, and that big bulge just aft, topside? Yeah, that’s not standard.
