Seems like quite an involved process to get a new rudder, flying one all the way from Pearl Harbor. Its a good thing this happened to a Perry-class frigate, with its handy auxiliary propulsion pods! I don't use them that often in DW but they must be nice to have when you're adrift in the med!

They could always post some lost nocitce around to see if the can find the rudder.

I can see it now,

Lost : one rudder, large, red. Owner is lost without it. If found or spotted, please contact 555-NAVY
