Chris was thinking about repair but my heart just not in it, considering it just fell from a table the damage was extensive

Doug she has her moments and as you know they put up with lots of cr4p (navy) being away from home for extended periods

Neil I know mate but hopefully the replacement will be better and I know I can learn from the first

Really glad this has a positive outcome Brian. I was having a good catch up and the damage was shockingly unexpected.

To be honest Tim I think it was the weight and the fact it fell end on that caused so much damage

It was a fair old lump I should think. Great shame though.

I could Neil yeah but I feel I could do a better job next time and tbh Its part of the build process

Really sad for the struck of bad luck, Brian. Your next U-Boot will be even better, I bet...

Brian,
That's a real bummer, after all that work. Given all the damage can you salvage the hull sides to save all that drilling again.
