Probably involves a lot of rewelding...and every separate weld would have to go through SUBSAFE certification. The cost of redoing the SUBSAFE cert is nontrivial.

I would have gotten a second estimate before approving the repairs.

I'd hate to serve on that thing. Probably use it in the future for an underwater noise generator.
