I found a few suppliers for the tubes. Very easy to obtain and very cheap for the most part. The fun part will be replacing all of the capacitors.

As far as I could tell when I was in the pump room our machinery appeared to be 95% - 99% intact. One of the pumps looked like it was missing a small cover, but it could have been laying on one of the nearby work benches. We probably need to make an assessment of that system in time to loot parts from the USS Trout when she becomes available for scrounging. It would also behoove us to keep an eye on the Clamagore to see if the Navy takes her back at some point. Her equipment will probably be more valuable than the Trout's due to not being left to rot for 35 years in mothballs.
