Default hull repairs

Been going over the hull to fit new armour plate, have noticed that many of the original welds have let go.
Many of the boxes and internal fittings welded to the AAP have separated over the years. Anyone who has welded armour plate knows it requires prep work and knowledge of stress and tension.
I am welding in 5, 8, and 9mm mild steel plate to fill the holes. 9mm AAP is no longer available.
Will be using a MIG and pre heating to do the welds and grinding the welds flush. The Nickle weld will be reproduced by a stick welder later.
