Damage To Greeneville
Greeneville suffered some damage in the collision. Beginning at the 31-foot (9 m) mark on the submarine's rudder, surface tiles were sheared off exposing bare metal and there were several dents on the rudder's leading edge, one of which had punctured the metal skin. In addition, a 24-foot (7 m) section of acoustic hull surface treatment tiles below the sail had been sheared off.
At a cost of US$2 million, Greeneville was repaired in a drydock at Pearl Harbor. The repairs were completed on 18 April 2001, and the submarine returned to operational status.
