When welding is a concern, there is no minor problems, welding on the US Naval ships, we were always told that design and welding SOP was written by ships sinking.
Picture of me welding up shaft ally, the shaft sections were all taken out to be balanced, and the babbitt bearings redone or replaced.

Were the blades of that propeller sharp enough to need fiber board covering? SGT (Join to see) I don’t see any arc!

CSM Charles Hayden - I Don't Think Sharp is the Issue, Damage Prevention and OPSEC Might be, What is done to Prevent Caviation? Bubbles, Boiling Gas created by Screw (Propeller) Cutting thru the Water. We Like to Reduce that (Noise) as Much as Possible and We're not Big on Sharing the Tools of the Trade.

CSM Charles Hayden - The edges were protected by canvass and aluminum sheet metal for transportation, you can't see it but there are wires crisscrossed that hold the aluminum to the edges.
The prop just got back from the machine shop, balanced and preped for install. There was an old machinist that work at the yard for 30+ years, and only he knew how to polish and prep the props correctly, also, QA was involved that made sure the process was followed to the "T".
