I used to build/rebuild/repair these things and I felt rebuild was most likely when I saw the first pics. But now I keep having visions of all the radiograph film that's gonna get burned. More than EB had to use when they got caught skipping welds when they started the LA class boats in the first place. At least no one skipped a weld on the SF or it would have stayed on the "dirty water."
between the films, inspecting every sound bed, sound mount, and other major things that will have to be inspected, it's going to be a long major yard period that's for sure!
