Default Welders required

The USN ship san Antonio has some serious defects in its oil lubrication system.

Hello,
some welding, eh ? This is such a bad job I would fire the contractor immediately - after he repaired this mess. Or is the whole system not up for the calculated pressure, or vibrating ?

Just add some oil every 100nM
and she'll be fine

on a serious note:
Thats really looks bad, I'm suprised they let this go that far.
