🔍 Key Concepts

• Emergency hull repairs methods used on small holes below the waterline • Difference between internal plugs and external patches/mats • Why speed and simplicity matter in flooding emergencies

💭 Think About

• Which option can be applied the fastest by a small crew in rough conditions? • Which methods are commonly kept in a damage control kit specifically for small round holes? • Which choice depends on equipment or conditions you are unlikely to have or use safely in an immediate flooding emergency?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which method is designed for small, round penetrations (around 3 inches or less). • Check which options are external patches meant for larger or irregular damage vs. internal plugs. • Consider safety: which option avoids heat, sparks, or complex rigging during an active flooding situation?
