Why no comment on that little wrinkle on the sub?

First thing I noticed. I’m sure the sail is a composite material. Looks like a slight side impact. I don’t think we’d be seeing it if it was important.

Not a wrinkle. A little piece of the anechoic coating has sloughed off.

I noticed as well first thinking it to be a compromised hull.. But I think it could be a part of whatever camo pattern may be at play.

Aside from that, to my untrained eye, the condition of that boat looks deplorable. Rust on the head of the conning tower, rusted fittings and the foot of the railings, etc. Isn't there regular at-sea maintenance that gets done?
